Question

Dieters; how many hours do you workout a week? ?

Answer 1

I try for 5 hours a week but usually its between 4-5 hours a week (An hour a day Mon.-Fri. and the weekend off :) )

Answer 2

For me it really depends on how lazy I'm being because I can be pretty lazy...like drive to go check my mail instead of walking for 10 minutes.

I do an hour a day. I try to do 2 hours but some days that just doesn't happen.

I also wanted to answer your other question (yahoo doesn't send me emails when people ask questions anymore, it hasn't for a few months now. yahoo hates me)

Some doctors will say don't lose more than 2lbs a week but to me I think that's wrong. If you can lose more, than do because no one wants to be dieting for a year when they could have been dieting for 6 months.

I've lost 16lbs in 1 week and I didn't die or anything! I did feel a little weak and had to take vitamins but other than that I was fine!

I don't suggest losing that much because that much can't be healthy. I did gain it all back but that's just because it was a fad diet and they don't work.

Answer 3

Anywhere from an hour and a half to 2 hours. I do an hour of cardio then I do some weights for my body. And I sit in the sauna for about 10-15 minutes. I'm a 22 year old female by the way. And I do this routine pretty much 5-7 days a week. So if my math is correct (which it usually isn't) then that would mean I work out for anywhere from 8-14 hours a week.

Answer 4

Normally I work out 2-4 hours a week. But I am getting ready to start volleyball back up and that means I will be working out 5-7 hours a week.

Answer 5

I have been trying a contreversial new method of "working in" rather than working out.  I work in about 30 hours a week, and I haven't lost any weight yet... but I'm going to keep trying.

Answer 6

When I'm maintaining, it's usually 5 hours a week (5 1-hour workouts).  When I'm training for competition, up that to 9 workouts app. 1 hour each.

As a personal trainer, I work with clients based on what they are currently doing.  If they are maintaining their weight and not working out at all, I suggest 3 sessions of cardio and 2 weight training sessions to start.  It's all relative to what you are currently doing, how much you are currently expending.

Here's more about my training as a fitness competitor:
