| How much time (minutes) per week do you exercise ??

Your post pretty much sums it up. Ridiculous to even guess how many *minutes* combined - in a week- from every session- from 168 hours that arent even available.
Ho2. Im curious what your *survey* is for?

Breaking it down , logging it in , opens many peoples eyes as to where all the time actually went.
Ridiculous - hardly = most people don't have "clue" what they actually do in a week !
They think they do a lot, the reality of it all is they spend only a short time actually physically exerting themselves.
Saying you go to the gym for an hour 3 times a week rarely means 180 minutes of physical exertion, thats all. | |

Posted: 5/15/2009 5:48:06 PM | Hi H2O
These days to be honest I'm spending about 7 hours a week on a bike. I've been playing with my 11 month old nephew alot, but that doesn't really count. When I waa serious about making gains in my sport I'd train for 25-30 hour a week in a base training phase (cycling, skiing, skting, weights ++) and in season my training hours would drop to about 12 hours a week (all on bike). I think my biggest weeks ever were back packing/tramping and hitch hiking around New Zealand for a couple months and it seemed that I was on my feet for 10 hours a day, most days with about 30 kilograms on my back.
good luck with your survey

I consider exercise anything over and beyond the generic stuff all of us have to do anyways. Before I answer the original question, please confirm that THIS is the definition of "exercise" you are using for this thread. | |

Posted: 5/16/2009 7:50:04 AM | Well I do the P90X workout routine and it ranges from about 60 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes.
By far the most intense workout I have done and they are coming out with one called Insanity which is even more intense but so will the results. If you are interested in learning more drop me a line.

But additionally, I workout 1 hour/day, 5 times/wk. and I'm in my late 40s.
It's not about how much time you spend working out, its about quality and quantity on the time spent. | |

Posted: 5/17/2009 6:38:10 AM | | I always work out 4 days a week - Never less, sometimes more. The time spent actually working out is 6 hours. Yes it takes time out of my evenings. I leave my house at 7:00 and I'm home by 9:00. I also park further away, take the stairs as much as I can. | |

5 hours a week of walking
5 hours of exercising (hour a day, 5 days a week)
