How much exercise do you get in?

Lately I've really trying to up my exercise regime but it's so hard to find the time. How do you make time for it and how long do you spend per day/week?

Get up earlier and do my mobility, flexibility & a little bit of conditioning on tues, wed & Friday mornings, yoga for 40 mins on Monday mornings & thurs mornings are off.

I train 3 evenings a week for around two hours, mon, wed & fri.

Usually take weekends off.

Works out to be about 9 hours a week.

5 or 6 sessions a week. Currently 8 sessions a week between the gym and BJJ.

per week, usually:
bodyweight training (Convict Conditioning) - 6x1h
running - 3x1h (including warmup & stretching)
table tennis - 2x3h
total = 15h :eek:

(hmm... ok, that's a bit much, maybe I should actually reduce it)

Please Kill Me

Kinda varies week to week, but usually -

Monday - Weights for 2 hours, Convict Conditioning (1 Hour)
Tuesday - Either 8km run or 16km cycle
Wednesday - 2 hours in the boxing club
Thursday - Usually a break, but I might get an hour of Convict Conditioning in
Friday - morning: Crossfit in the boxing club, evening: kickboxing

Depending on how I feel week to week, I might leave out the kickboxing on the Friday evening or do an extra weight session on a Thursday.

I cycle 36 km in and out of work 4 days a week ..great way to get in exercise without to much time commitment....

Usually..

Monday - BJJ (2.5 hours)
Tuesday - wrestling/MMA (1 hour)
Wednesday - rest
Thursday - MMA (2 hours)
Friday - BJJ (1.5 hours)
Saturday - either MMA for an hour, or a 45 minute run and half an hour of strength and conditioning
Sunday - usually rest. Maybe a walk. Going to start swimming in the sea now that the weather is warming up.

Works out at about 8 hours, so a full working day. I don't find it hard to find the time really, I work a 38 hour week and don't have kids, so if I wasn't training I'd probably be sitting on my rear eating cakes (I find quite a lot of time for that as well.....).

Weekend - Saturday, mid morning/afternoon

Sunday = rest!

Could be anything from 4 hours to 12+ hours.

Usually:

Monday - 2 hours of BJJ
Tuesday - 20-25 minutes of (p)rehab & 5-15 minutes of rowing
Wednseday - 2+ hours of BJJ
Thursday - 46-60 mins of BJJ if I can, 20-25 minutes of (p)rehab & 5-15 minutes of rowing
Friday - 90 mins of BJJ
Saturday - 1.5 hours of mixed conditioning and BJJ
Sunday - 2 hours of mixed conditioning, BJJ, general physical activity like running/hiking/etc

Any one or two of those days can and do get dropped if I feel like crap at any point.

10-15 hrs per week. You get up early, and get all the other stuff in your life done efficiently. Theres always time to train if you want to.
