i tend to spend a minimum of 1.5 hours & no max but average 3 hours.

i tend to do about an hour & quater of general fitness then hour nd a quater on weights & abs machines etc then steam room & pool for 30 mins.

(i go to bannatines in chester le street)

 

About two hours, start off with cv work then work different parts of the body on different days, finish up with the pool and steam that's my routine

all that and you still look like a pussycat???

 

About 30 secs, when i walk down to meet the mrs after she's finished

i spend an hour a session on one body part, eg, one session on arms, one on back, legs, shoulders etc.

doing different typs of excersises with weights, machines etc.

I dont see the point in tryin to cram it all into one work out coz by the time u come to the last 1 or 2 muscle groups u have used up most of your energy and dont get the full benefit you would if you concentrated on that body part in on session.

spreading ti out it the best way.

 

60 to 90 minutes. To build muscle you want short intense workouts ideally.

p.s steam rooms etc have been proven to reduce muscle gain after the gym, and it best to do cardio after weights to lose fat.

 

40 mins cardio, 20 mins on weights etc but will increase time spent on weights when I get more programmed into my profile as only just joined this gym.

Then i do about 30 mins swimming and then go into steam room and jacuzzi.

 

i once went to the gym, came out, walked over the road and got a kebab

 

only just started going to the gym, (monday ) but ive done an hour each day, after that im pretty much screwed but im blaming that on the wether
been doing 15mins cardio to warm up, then 40mins weights, then 5 mins on the rowing machine to cool down

 

I do 45 minutes - 1 hour maximum a day if doing weights; it's all about quality over quantity!

 

When I am trying to build muscle, I only spend about 40 minutes lifting weights. It's all about the effort you put in, and your form so you are actually working the muscles properly. Although saying that, I have never reached anywhere near my natural limits...so the gains always come pretty quickly before I lose interest for another month or so. Lol

 

about 2 hours free weights and mecheins then 30min to a hour in sauna etc

 

An hour max doing weight training. Then i come home and do 40-50 minutes cardio on my exercise bike.

 

i do an hour a day on different muscle groups. but i am pushing myself in that hour with the help of mates so it feels like i been at gym hours when i come out aching lol

 

90 mins, about 60 on CV stuff, don't use sauna at all, every other day normally.
A lot of peeps overtrain, which doesn't work, everytime you use a muscle it tears fibre, this needs to be repaired, by resting, nowhere near enough emphasis in put on the most important muscle, your heart with CV stuff, usually X trainer for me.

Only do weights and spend about an hour each time in the gym.

 

Amen - not usually in there for longer than 1hr

 

Normally 30-45 mins a day hitting one muscle group a day with 4 different exercises 4X8 reps
5 days a week

 

Depends on how busy the gym is but usually...

15mins cardio to warm up on bike, 1hr on weights on a specific body area, different area per day, then a further 15mins cardio to finish.

 

One body part each session, takes around 30 mins tops.

 

2 hours normally...


day on day off.. sometimes go the odd extra day and just do cardio

warm up consists of 10minute run uphill then work out for an hour n 45 on the weights.

also do alot of skipping to get the heart rate going!

 

Used to spend 1.5 hours. Used to do at least an hour on the treadmill then cool down on x-trainer then bike.

Then I hit the road and stopped going. I ended up only using the gym when I picked an injury up.

Then they put my membership up from Ł24 per month to Ł32 in one go so I cancelled it.

Usually do 30-40 miles per week road running now.

i do 45 mins, all compound high wieght low rep stuff three times a week, bulking baby yeah

 

1.5 hours everyday now.

 

I usually do an hour and half on full on cardio...i cant lift weights to save my life... i have seen sparrows with bigger arms than me

 

45 mins to 1 hour max... anymore and your body goes into a catabolic state and you're not gaining.

All you people on here are wasting so much time.

 

i like to go for as long as i can to justify paying the overpriced membership fees

 

45 mins for me - its as much as I need and it fits in my lunch hour. And 10 of that is in the sauna!

 

Monday, Wednesday and Friday - Swim 1k (30 mins), cycle 20k (45 mins) and run 10k (35 mins) although the machines we use arn't calibrated so I tend to cycle and run on time not distance.

Tuesday - Chest and shoulders, light weight high reps roughly 90 mins

Thursday - Back and arms again light weight high reps roughly 90 mins

Im a pti so also have to take guys for pt on tuesdays, thursday and fridays so by the weekend im pretty dead, its a lot of time in the gym but stuck out in the falklands there isn't a lot else to do!!!

Weights 3 times a week for 50mins, Swim for 30mins once a week, and Heavy bag training for 20-30mins once a week.

 

saphcosmike i go to that gym too. to be fair i just go in fill my water bottle up and stair at the ladys on the treadmill.

 

you been a member in that gym long baz?

 

about 4 years. its a canny gym but it aint a proper weight lifting gym or anything. its got enough free weights for what i do but its a bit too small and between 5 and 7 its sometimes hard to get on any machine.

 

I love going to the gym.I normaly spend a few hours there.I start of on the rowing machine for about 5 mins to get warmed up then i do loads of weights for my legs and arms and chest then do about 30/40 mins on the treadmill then do the same weights again then do about 400 sit ups then do all the weights again.I go to banatynes too in darlington.

 

30 to 45 mins max

 

I used to spend ages, I was leaving work at 5.30 ( gym on way home ) and not getting in till about 9.00.

Now I cut it down to 45-60 mins max and a bit of a ponce about in the jacuzzi.

I tend to do half hour cv on the bike or a brisk steep up hill walk and then I do arms, shoulders, chest and back on the free weights. I try to go 4 times a week and alternate which weights I do first/last and whether I do cv before or after.

My aim with the gym is to stay fit and healthy as I dont play sports and to tone up my body so I look ok in a t shirt.

Nothing else.

I have a life, I'll never be a professional athlete or similar so any more is simply not required and to top it off I simply aint that arsed!

Not if they're going for fitness and stamina.........

Horses for courses etc.

 

I dont spend enought time in the gym. Just not that commited to it right now.
