How much exercise do you do a week?

I walk across the hall to the bathroom a few times a day.

I lift weights every 3 days. Just enough to stress the muscles and plenty of rest. I'm 38 and in the best shape of my life (and I also look good compared to my school contemporaries, who have mostly begun to let themselves go by now).

Very similar to me. I find im still sedentary between the gym sessions though because WFH and newborn. Need to find a way to get some motion in.

I have the same issue and find it hard to add too much cardio into my gym routine without injury. I try adding a 10-20 treadmill walk/run to the end of my sessions if there is time and make a point of going for a walk every lunch time. On weekends if I haven’t got any other plans I’ll walk for 1-5 hours. It’s not as much as I’d like to be doing but it’s keeping me ticking over.

Since WFH in 2020 I became super lazy. I wanted to do Marathon de Sables in the Sahara prior to that, I was running, hill sprinting and weight lifting every day. Nowadays I just have no motivation, I lift a few weights, look at my phone and then leave the gym. I've turned into something in between a skeleton and a beer-bellied monster.

I walk about 4 miles a day. Mostly as a walk to work and a walk home.

1hr per day cycling in the week. 2-4 on the weekend. Really started getting into it during the pandemic and loved it. Needed it to maintain my mental health.

I cycle to and from work and I’m a postie so walk around 8 miles a day. When I’m not working I always go for a walk but that’s ask the exercise I do and I’m really not a fit as I should be with all of that!!

According to my Fitbit about 450 minutes, although Fitbit minutes don't really work out the same as normal minutes once your heart rate gets high enough so probably more like 350 actual minutes

Gym 3x a week. 60-75 mins each visit. 2x spin classes per week. 45 mins each class. As an old fart I know I have to exercise or I’ll just sit at home drinking wine and watching Homes Under The Hammer!!

Probably 10-12 hours a week I've got an indoor biking setup, that I spent way too much money on, which really helps me in the winter. I can be ready and on there in about 5 minutes. Not enough time to doubt myself and be lazy. I ride to work once a week (say, 45 minutes each way at a decent rate of knots) and then biking when I can. My wife has just convinced me to join her gym too, so I'll bike a little less.

I do 45 minutes a day and have to force myself. Going to the gym to do cardio is fucking boring. Even David Goggins hates running and he does hundreds of miles. I commit and force myself as I like nice clothes and wouldn't fit in them if I didn't exercise. And it does wonders for your mental health, but still, it's fucking boring. I'm the sort of person who'd happily sit on the sofa eating crisps if I didn't need to exercise, so I have to kick myself up the arse.

Try a crossfit gym, you turn up, they tell you what to do, you workout with the same people so it.necomes a social thing as well

I do 10k steps per day as a minimum (usually actually 13k). If it wasn't for the walking I'd be a whale. I used to do pull ups, but got out of the habit during Covid and keep telling myself I need to do them again

In the same boat. I'm not naturally an exercise guy. I just don't have the energy/passion to run or go to the gym. So I've recently started walking. Noise cancelling headphones on, Spotify, bottle of water. Feels great. I try to get out first thing in the morning or lunch time. It helps me both physically and mentally. Doesn't take much time or money and it's all very chilled and pleasant. Can join a walking club or go with mates if you prefer the social side.

My cardio is when I’m dying for the toilet I’m the middle of the night, so about 25 seconds a day. Good workout.

I do on average 220km a week on the bike, the occasional kayak on the river, walk the dog and lots and lots of work in the garden which can be a lot of heavy lifting. I'm 58 and don't work so have plenty of free time/

I do about 30 mins of walking a day and I'll do weight training every other day for about 45 mins to an hour each session. I definitely noticed I started packing on the pounds once I got an office job.

I walk everywhere and do some yoga at home each day. I also do aerial hoop/sling or pole a few times a week and reformer pilates at least once a week I used to force myself to classes and the gym but i'm getting so much more out of it now I'm doing something I actually enjoy. That's by far the best advice I have to get more active, try lots of different stuff and find what works for you, it doesn't have to be a typical gym session or a run!

3 hours a week mixing cardio and strength. This does not include exercise I’m not conscious of - walking, housework, gardening etc

I walk six miles every morning when I'm out with my dog. I was doing a lot of strength training until a few months ago when I was back and forth between here and Florida while my mom was dying, and will be getting back to it after my birthday next month. I hate gyms, so I've got a lot of kettle bells and other assorted things lying around the house.

I walk 25-30 miles a week with the dog. More in the summer and the longer days

Very little deliberate exercise but I basically walk everywhere. My natural walking pace when I am on my own borders on power walking. Minimum 10miles a week walking (I live one mile from the office so 2 miles a day there and back Mon-Fri). Anything else is a bonus. My smart watch usually tells me I do at least 90mins activity a day.

Approx 3hrs running and 2hrs strength work in the gym each week. That's 1x long run of about 90mins and 2 shorter runs, and 3x 40min weights sessions. A fair bit of walking around as well, but I personally don't consider that exercise as such (though you definitely could)
