How long do you workout a day???

[FreestylePup]

How long does everyone workout a day. I probably do about 20-40 minutes of actually working out, about run every 2-3 times a week, and do about 10-20 minutes of Yoga/stretching a day. Just started this December 1st though:)

I try to work out for 45-60 minutes 6 days. I usually jog, but also do some sculpting and the elliptical machines. I also try to get in yoga a couple of times each week, but I don't really consider that exercise - I consider it mental health.

[smedley]

30-90 mins. depends on temp outside and whether i have to do weights or not. i workout with weights 3x/week plus on those days 30-60 mins of cardio. on not weight lifting days i do 30-90 mins of cardio. i do cardio ( fast walk) outside if temp. permits otherwise i am in the gym!

[Pixelle]

Not very long at all - I just like to keep a basic level of fitness, I'm not interested in being an athelete.

I do half an hour on the treddie every day and add in a quick weight routine every other day. All up, it's no more than an hour each day.

[coastalveg]

I like to go to the gym 4 times a week. I do 40-50 minutes of cardio (ellipitical, bike, stairclimber)then alternate upper and lower body weight training, and finishing with 10 minutes of abs.

[Envy]

Every time I have the time or can remember it.

[kali]

i train about an hour and a half max. but i dont train every day at the moment.

[Eco_Jihadist]

sometimes i train twice a day but rarely do runs, weights, circuits and boxing exceed an hour. Once a week i box for about 2.5 hours though.

[Dark knight]

Just one hour for weights since i'm genetically gifted, rapid results.
for running or cardio around 30 mins, one hour if it's summer.

[coley]

Hmmm...since I had my baby I walk an hour and a half a day. And lift seven and a half kilos quite a lot throughout the day :D. It's a lot more fun than the gym.

[NZVeggie]

I try and go to the gym for an aerobics class (alternate cardio with weights classes) on Monday through Friday. They are an hour long including 5 minutes of stretching.

If I can't go to a scheduled class then I will go for a run on the treadmill for 40 minutes instead.

I'm not particularly interested in building huge muscles... I find that if I'm generally fit then I maintain nice muscle tone and thats good enough for me.

I try to fit in exercise whenever I can because I'm not crazy about going to the gym. Walking fast, jogging, etc. I also try to get to yoga when I can.

If you don't consider yoga exercise, you're doin' it wrong!

hehe - yeah, yoga is definitely exercise. But it is so good for my whole body that I feel it's somehow on a different plane from "regular" exercise. And I tend to concentrate on deep stretching more than strength building. Put me in child's pose and go away.

:yes: Sometimes I do some yoga at home just for the stretching. But when I go to class it's for a workout - they push you farther than you think you can go and it feels so good to just workout hard and then just relax for the final few minutes :yes:

[Hummusisyummus]

If I'm being good, I'll do an hour of cardio (elliptical or stair climber) then about 45 minutes of weights. I alternate between upper/back and lower/abs. If I'm slacking or trying to squeeze in a workout before work its more like 30 minutes of each.

[snowbirdpat]

I try for 1 - 2 hours a day. Aerobics or weights first, followed by yoga.

[JessEpiphany]

30-45 minutes per day, only 3 to 5 days per week.
I'm hoping to up that toward 60 minutes per day, once I get in a little better shape. :)

[Ilurvebroccoli]

Usually I train for about 3hrs a day. I have morning personal training, which is alternated strength training and yoga/pilates. Then Mid afternoon I ride my horse for about 30-40 min. Then in the evening I go for a run/walk, which usually lasts about an hour.

I am kinda a fitness freak though. I'm a competitive horseback rider, so I need to keep in tip top shape.

[wildmindgirl]

30-60 minutes a day of Hatha Yoga and when I can spare the extra time, 2.8 miles to walk around Green Lake (Seattle).

[3LittleBirds]

I do yoga on my own for about 30 minutes when I first wake up each morning. I take a one hour yoga or pilates class 4x/week. Other than that I walk in the city a lot (home from work is about 1.5 miles, the Whole Foods is 1 mile round trip plus I carry the groceries so that's like weights :) ) I'll jump on the elliptical if it's too cold/rainy to walk outside.

I'd love to start running. It's a little intimidating to get started though.

[lubimiller]

about an hour a day

[ficbot]

My formal 'workout' (i.e. 'I changed into workout clothes and now I am doing my workout') is 30 minutes. I have started doing it in the morning instead of the evening, and I just cannot get up any earlier. In addition though, I sometimes do a yoga video later, and I get in about half an hour of walking per day in the course of my commute.

Optimal for me...40 to 70 min of yoga 5 days a week. Run 3 times a week or bike (half hour) Swim twice a week. Weights 4 to 5 times a week for 40 min or so each session

I also like inline skating, longboarding, dirt bikes, mountain bikes, hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, scuba, snow sports, mountain boarding, tree climbing

Of course I seldom get it all in. Too much damn cooking as well as the complex lives we have all built to rob our time.

[The Lurker]

My work and family life kind of restricts me. I run about 5 miles at lunchtime Mon, Wed & Fri and go to the company gym for 45 mins on a Tue & Thurs lunchtime. Ideally Saturday is a longer run (10 miles at the moment, hoping to build up) and I'm really into hillwalking but struggle to get the time at the weekends.

I change jobs quite a lot so this varies wildly - sometimes I might work somewhere where I can cycle to work which is another good workout.

[bekajoi]

I try and do 30-90 minutes of yoga daily. Less if it's intense, more if it's on the relaxing just-stretching side. I'm a beginner with the yoga, really like it, and still find it really challenging. I do what I can, follow my body, and eat well. I LOVE the results. :)
