honestly, I have not started my workout routine again. I hope to get back in the swing of things soon though. I have a treadmill and usually try to do 45-60 minutes a day. I usually do it at night after the kids are in bed.

I aim for 20/30 minutes a days

30-45 minutes run, 2-3x a week. Haven't done that in a month (Plantar fascitis). Other days I lift weights.
I have a gazelle-like machine (off brand) that I've been trying to use 2-3 times a day in 10 minute increments.

I usually don't have a set time frame in mind. I have routines that I go through to work different areas on different days, usually with some short cardio to warm-up (as well as cardio during) so it varies from day to day. It's usually at least 1/2 hour depending on the routine and/or cardio.

45 minutes a day on my elliptical.

Plus walking 3x a week for 3+ miles each time.

I also do 10 - 15 minutes of hula hoop 3x - 5x a week

Good luck to you. I'd probably kill myself trying to do this.

6 of 8 hr a day at work. Don't want a machine for more.

I lift weights for an hour and treadmill for an hour. I do this four days a week.
DesertDarlene L. Feb 1, 2009, 6:01pm EST
I'm usually working about about 2 hours on weight training day, but only an hour on the cardio machines. Some days, I do cardio for more than 2 hours, though.
DesertDarlene L. Feb 1, 2009, 6:01pm EST
I mostly like to go by how many calories I burn rather than how many miles or minutes I do.

I have several work outs tapes and DVDs with 10 min. work outs. I do 30 mins. at least twice a week and then try to do at least 4 10 min. work outs the rest of the week. I am doing weight watchers so that gets me 8 extra points a week. It's been enough so far to keep losing a little more each week. I'll have to kick it up a notch if if I quit losing.

I've been TRYING to get to Curves at least 3x per week. When I go, I workout for 30 minutes.

There aren't enough minutes in the day to waste even one working out just so I can say I sweated to the oldies.
Elizabeth B. Feb 1, 2009, 6:56pm EST
I am constantly on the go, I try to make sure at least 8thou. steps each day... Usually I blow way past that
Terri V. Feb 1, 2009, 7:07pm EST
Walk 4 times aweek 3 miles
Cheryl W. Feb 1, 2009, 7:27pm EST
I was walking 3 miles a day...but got slack over the winter. I plan on starting again this week...:)

Well, I am supposed to walk for thirty min. a day. The actual amount is less, but it is Top Secret information.
Dagmara H. Feb 1, 2009, 8:48pm EST
I used to workout 45 minutes to 1 hour 3x a week. Now I am sick so no workout for me
Alexis Newell Feb 1, 2009, 10:02pm EST
I'm just starting to train again for a 5k after being really sick for a few weeks. I'm only running about 15 minutes out of the hour that I'm out there, but slowly working my way up to running the whole hour. After I can run for an hour, I will move my workout up to 2 hours and run as much as possible and walk the rest until I can run the full amount.

Well, before I herniated 2 discs in my neck and came down with an advanced case of Lyme disease about 1 1/2 years ago, I used to....

work out about 1 1/2 hours a day/ 6 to 7 days a week - I loved to work out! I would do cardio for 45 to 60 minutes and lift weights for another 30 to 45 minutes.
Mary G. Feb 2, 2009, 3:25pm EST
I work out 30 minutes or more every day. I'm hoping in the upcoming weeks to start working out more time, but will have to get more organized.
Mary (diet dr pepper junkie) T. Feb 3, 2009, 10:32am EST
what is a gazelle machine? is that a treadmill type thing?

I have been working out with my Wii for almost an hour. I do the yoga exercises first, to warm up, and then the strength exercises, and sometimes some of the cardio things. I think that was too much because I had a leg tendon give me some pain, so I think I'll back off and do the yoga one day, the strength the next day, etc. Because I don't want to quit altogether!
Carol V. Feb 3, 2009, 7:39pm EST
My goal is at least 30 minutes a day, even if that's just walking around the building at work running errands from floor to floor.
Stacey (Jesus is coming soon! ) U. Feb 8, 2009, 5:10pm EST
Uh.....workout.....?
debra g. Feb 8, 2009, 9:22pm EST

B.B. B. Feb 9, 2009, 8:37pm EST

Not enough - I also own a Gazelle; but I was unable to repair or replace the device I owned previously. Hopefully, i'll resume my exercise program soon. --Joe

When I make it to the gym I aim for 3o minutes on the tread mill.




DesertDarlene L. Apr 10, 2009, 12:47pm EDT
I average between about 70 minutes to 120 minutes a day. But, on some days, I exercise up to 4 hours, especially on hiking days. But, that's more of an exception than a rule.
