Basically circuit training. And it's made such a huge difference with even a small time commitment. My goal is to do 1 or 2 additional cardio workouts on my own, but I haven't found the time yet. 2 hours is pretty easy though. I've been consistent since August. 808love on "How much time do you workout per week?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-workout-per-week#post-2491866 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 11:04:44 +0000 808love 2491866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sarac: I wish I had time like that!

I try to go most days, but make it 3-4 days a week, usually. My main motivation is showering without my 2yo and 9mo needing me. Plus, my kids like the playtime and I'm pretty horrified by my current size, so...win win? chopsuey on "How much time do you workout per week?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-workout-per-week#post-2491473 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 23:59:43 +0000 chopsuey 2491473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to do 30 mins every day, but now I do 5 days a week.

One of the days is a long run (8-13 miles). At night, I'll do quick 10-15 HIIT workouts. Those are usually done when I'm in the mood (I try to at least 4 evenings a week). In the summer, I run more and add walking to the mix too.

I also try to get as much exercise as possible in my daily activities. For me, that means I walk with the stroller as much as possible, and ride my cargo bike as much as possible. I also go swimming twice a week, and (when my neck isn't injured) I try to get several good bike rides in. I'd say 1-3 hours a day is my usual, between walking/swimming/biking. Less and I feel crabby and achy and bored. rattles on "How much time do you workout per week?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-workout-per-week#post-2490866 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 16:56:33 +0000 rattles 2490866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Specifically dedicated time? An hour or two probably (30 minute run plus stretches a few days a week). My lifestyle is much more active now that I'm home rather than working though, and I usually take the girls on a several mile walk in the afternoon and am always up and down and jumping and climbing with them. It's not ideal, but it's what works for this stage for me. There are definitely times where I wish I had the childcare coverage for more, but I feel like I'm at least healthy!

I'm always impressed with people who workout all the time. I've been off the wagon for awhile and as a consequence I just threw my back out today. Ugh. When I'm working out regularly I usually do 30-50 minutes of yoga, Pilates, walking, or elliptical 3-4x per week. Because of my back problems I can't do anything high-intensity so I'm pretty limited. While pregnant or immediately pp I was way better about working out. hb3233 on "How much time do you workout per week?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-workout-per-week#post-2490639 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:06:51 +0000 hb3233 2490639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 30 min run most mornings + walking (slowly) on my treadmill desk at work. psw27 on "How much time do you workout per week?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-workout-per-week#post-2490617 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:59:06 +0000 psw27 2490617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm training for a marathon so I'm running 4+ hours a week and doing yoga for 2 hours a week.

But....most days it's either that or workout at 430a or after the kids go to bed around 8p...so....I'll take it! cat620 on "How much time do you workout per week?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-workout-per-week#post-2490552 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:40:44 +0000 cat620 2490552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Wow, I'm impressed by how dedicated some of you are! I think I would workout more, if I took advantage of the childcare at my local Y, but I would have to bring two kids (a 2 year old and a 7 month old), and I'm worried one of them would get mad, and they would call me out of my class to go get them. Plus, it's a lot of work getting two kids ready and brought to the gym in time for my class. I currently workout in the evenings after DH gets home 3x a week, so he can watch the kids while I'm gone. They are on e hour classes, and I vary what I do depending on what's available. I do cycling, Zumba, kickboxing and cardio funk.

Sundays are my rest days. My goal after LO1 was to run a half marathon, and life got in the way. I'm 5.5 months PP with LO2, and I'm 1 month away from my half marathon! That's my motivation!

That's the minimum recommended amount of time in the medical community as far as I'm aware, and I really want to get off my cholesterol meds, so that's the main reason I do it.

So if you count that, 17.5-20.5 hours a week? catlady on "How much time do you workout per week?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-workout-per-week#post-2489715 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:22:40 +0000 catlady 2489715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lately I've been doing 5-6x per week, for about 2.5-3 hrs total (my workouts range anywhere from 10 to 40 min usually). I had alot of trouble getting into it over the past year but I got a Barre3 online subscription and did their 28 to Great program last month, and since then, I've been pretty consistent. I think having a program to follow at first is a good way to get yourself back into it.

One is longer on a weekend day when DH can watch the girls -- if I'm training for a marathon can be up to 3hrs, but typically more like 90min. During the week, it ranges from 30-60min/day. My main motivator is free childcare at the YMCA :) especially during the week when it's the only child-free time I get that day!
