How many hours a week do you exercise?

[HIITPrincess]

Just curious what other people do?

How many hours a week do you exercise and what kind of things are you doing?

Last week I did what felt like a lot and just want to check I am in the realms of normal and not getting some kind of addiction going on.

So HIIT - 2.30
Strength and conditioning - 3.30
Heavy resistance - 2

Total 8 hours of exercise.

This week is looking pretty much the same too except an extra hour of strength and conditioning so 9 hours total.

I run for 35 minutes every day. So 4 hours and 20 minutes a week.

I do between 15 and 20 hours a week martial arts/strength and conditioning but that's because I'm training for a fight and there are so many disciplines - not feasible or necessary for most people 😅

Probably 10-14 hrs/week. This has not made me skinny. :)
Exercise helps with my terrible insomnia.

Sometimes I watch up to an hour of tv/day.

2 x1hr Pilates classes
2 x1-2 hours of tennis
1-2 hours light resistance workout in the gym
2-3 longish(5-6 miles) walks

I do a fair bit. I run for about an hour 3/4x a week. 2 reformer Pilates classes. 3/4 cycle rides of between 2 and 6 hours. Two body pump classes an hour each. I love it

About 4 hours at the moment, made up of two 45 minute spin classes, two 1hr body pump and a swim session at the weekend.

On the lead up to my wedding I did 13 hours of classes a week. That was a bit excessive.

The amount people exercise

I have 2 toddlers and a dog so I'm on my feet most of the day. I go to the gym 3x a week but not 100% consistent. Due to Covid the gym session is in 45 min slots only, I'd prefer to go for an hour+ though.

2-4 hours of horse riding per week. I wish it was more but impossible due to childcare until next year.

This has made me feel so much better.

It says more about them than it does me.

Anywhere between 7-12 hours per week dedicated exercise time, depending where I am in the triathalon season

5 x 45 mins Pilates
1 x 1 hour strength & conditioning

2 x 1 hour swims
2 x 1 hour run
1 x 1 hour turbo (spin) session
1 x 2-3 hour bike

Alternate weeks I swap the long bike for an hour on the turbo but do a 2 hour run instead

If we're also counting walking I walk the dog for at least an hour 6 days a week and we do a 2-3 hour walk at the weekend!

In summer we fell walk so maybe once a fortnight/every 3 weeks we go out for 6-8 hours.

I get the obsessive comments too, but like a previous poster says the people making the comments spend hours sat watching tv or in the pub - those have got zero appeal to me!

2 body pump
1 combat
1 body balance
1 body attack

All 45 minutes. I am doing an extra combat class this week

Goodness
I thought I was doing well with 20-30 mins HIIT or bootcamp every day. Must up my game!

I run 30 mins every other day

About 8 hours/week.
Mix of aerobic and strength
Still fat though

Yoga 1.5 hours pw - more strenuous than it sounds. Doing 40 sun salutations is tiring!
Circuit training - body weight and weights 4x45m pw
I go for 2-4 walks a week too - but I wouldn't count them as they are usually only about 3 miles and though they are hilly, they're not fast.

I would like ot do a lot more as my day job is so sedentary, so this is the only exercise I get. There's not much moving around unless I active take part in something,

I do 2x45 min mixed cardio / HIIT sessions and an hour session with a PT. in between that I might do a swim and also walk our dog

Trying to lose weight post baby

I ride my horse for 30-60 minutes 5 or 6 days a week.
I usually do 1 45 min hit class and 1 45 min body pump class a week.
I also do 1-3 sessions in the gym on my own which tends to equate to 45 min cardio, 45 min weights and 20 min swimming a time. The number of these depends on life/shifts.

I think as long as you are taking rest days and you don’t feel guilty if you miss a day then it’s fine. I love being active and my long gym sessions are a treat for me. Not sure how this happened as a couple of years ago I hated exercise bar riding but I enjoy it and I have the healthiest attitude towards my body and food (I’ve previously suffered from eating disorders) that I’ve ever had.

God not that much
2 hours football
6 -10 hours walking the dogs
1 hour cycling
I hour yoga

It depends on what counts as exercise... if we are including walking and yoga then for me it's about 3 hours a day, consisting yoga walking running cycling strengthtraining

Mon - 1 hour weights
Tues - 1 hour erg
Weds - 12km water session (90mins)
Thurs - 1 hour erg
Fri - rest
Sat - Water session 1x 18km, 1 x 12km (3.5 hours)
Sun - 1 x 12km (90 mins)

three strength sessions, two cardio sessions, one powerlifting class (my absolute favourite) and usually a decent walk or a bit of yoga at the weekend. I bloody love moving.
I am by no means thin. Super fit though!

This is inspiring! I'm recovering for an operation so nothing for me right now, but going to intro yoga before I go back to weightlifting.

Can I ask from the yoga people, any good online ones to get me moving?

Pre operation I was typical desk all day but gym 4 times a week, dog walk daily.

@dhisreadingmypostsagain - yes Yoga with Adriene. She is superb. And she has a huge range of online classes, from very gentle 5 minute morning wake ups, to target stretches to more advanced full classes.

Some serious workouts going on.

I feel so much healthier this year it's really helped my mind set and mental health too.

I've never added it up before!

40 mins strength (weights and resistance bands) 6 days a week
3x 10k hikes a week
25km running a week
10k steps every day

So around 15-20 hours a week.
