    Default For avid exercisers, what is the avg amount of time you work out per day?

    I usually work out for around 80 minutes per day 5x a week and then on the 6th day, it's usually a shorter, more intense workout (say, 30 to 45 minutes)

    And do any of you find that you work out a lot less since eating more raw foods? I am finding that I still work out the same amount of time as I did when I was eating a heavy cooked diet.

    I work about about 90 minutes 3 times a week and run for 45 mins 2-3 times a week (this is when my dh is in town, I have a 2 year old so I sometimes change things around when he's gone). I am new to raw and my workouts haven't really changed and I don't plan on changing them, just perhaps uping the intensity which I do in regular intervals anyway.

    I work out 6 days per week with one rest day. I don't know if I am working out more in terms of time, I would get probably not. But I know for sure my workouts are far more efficient. I run 3x per week and do resistance training 3x (30 minutes or less). My body is definitely responding quicker in terms of recuperation and muscular definition.

    Peace.

    I like to run about 1 - 2 hours most days but have a break when I feel a bit sore or tired.

    I workout about 45 -60 min's a day 4-5 times a week. When we get a new piece of equipment that we are wanting it will be about 20 min's more three x a week.
    We also love to walk a lot. Today we walked about 5 miles.

    I workout about an hour a day and if I have the time, sometimes more. Today I did 2 hours. One hour of weights, one hour of cardio. That does not happen to often.

    On days I work early, it's about a 30-45 minute workout, so my longer days balance the shorter days out.
