Other/Mixed How much time do you spend training?

[offwidth]

Based on some interesting conversations on another thread I thought it might be entertaining to see how much time our community invests into training each week. Feel free to include all training: KB’s Barbell, Bodyweight, Mobility / Flexibility, Locomotive Endurance, and Sports Participation, etc.

 

[bluejeff]

I put 8-10hrs/week because I typically do actual training sessions five days a week for an hour and some change, plus GtG on the other two days, plus stretching, mobility, etc

 

[wespom9]

Seasonal for me for sure, but averages out to 6-8 so that's what I picked

nice weather hrs per week
4-7 hours singles tennis
1-1.5 hrs lifting
~1hr stretching/mobility/original strength/stability/motor control stuff throughout the day or week
~round of golf every 1.5-2 weeks (15ish rounds a season) but I wouldn't really count this

cold weather hrs per week
2-3 hours lifting (typically 4-5 days of 30 mins or so)
1-1.5 hrs cardio (need to do more dedicated endurance)

almost every day no matter the weather - 20-30 min walk with wife, Zone 1 for sure.

 

[LarryB]

3 days per week for lifting at about an hour each (including warm up)

3 days per week of endurance (running) averaging to at least an hour each (this will increase as marathon training ramps up)

10-15 minutes of mobility everyday

I live in the city so could include a lot of walking, but I don’t consider it intentional training.

 

[Don Fairbanks]

30-90 + mins everyday, of something. A lot of variety.

 

[silveraw]

60-90 3x a week on mobility, flexibility, strength, and conditioning and then a 3-4 hour sesson once a week working on strongman implements.

 

[North Coast Miller]

2hrs 40 minutes, occasionally 3 hrs.

 

[lucasmreis]

One hour in the morning six days a week. Mon/Wed/Fri strength training, Tue/Thu/Sat mobility, etc. I'm planning on moving to Mon/Thu strength, Tue/Fri conditioning, Wed/Sat mobility.
I'm very happy I've been maintaining these 6 hours per week as a habit for more than a couple years, after years of almost no exercise.

 

[Andi-in-BKK]

5-6 days a week for BJJ @2-3 hours a class.

3-4 days a week kettlebell @20-30 minutes a session.

So I’m guessing 15 hours a week on average

 

[Stephen B.]

Before I went on vacation, I was doing about 9 hours per week of various martial arts training, and around 7 hours of lifting each week, plus daily stretching. Actually nevermind, closer to 10 hours of lifting if I'm being realistic with myself .

So easily in the 15-20 hours per week range for me. I'll probably need to find some kind of balance for the future.

 

[Adachi]

2 sessions a day, 5 ~ 10 minutes each.
à la strength shortcuts

 

[Anna C]

I said 8-10 hours.

• 3 days/ week x 2 hrs weightlifting (90 min w/ barbell and 30 min accessories)
• 1 bike ride 2.5 - 3 hours
• Walking ~1-2 hours

 

[paules]

Typically, more than 10 hours per week almost all at low intensity:

1. 6 x 1 hour morning training sessions (strength, power, mobility, LISS)
2. 3 x 45 minute run/ruck commutes per week
3. 1 hour bouldering every Saturday morning
4. 2 hour LISS on Sunday morning
5. Lots of GTG throughout the day particularly when working from home

 

[watchnerd]

• 3 days/ week x 2 hrs weightlifting (90 min w/ barbell and 30 min accessories)

That's my main foundation, too -- almost exactly the same split with accessories vs barbell.

I'm actually in the process to transitioning to 4 days a week of weightlifting by EOY -- currently doing 3.5 days of weightlifting.

 

[pet']

Hello,

About 9h per week (boxing + S&C). This does not include GTG, hikes, etc...

Kind regards,

Pet'

 

[Antti]

8-10 with weights. It's hard to say how much elsewhere, what counts and what the average would be.

 

[Bauer]

At first I thought 4-6, because I tend to do about 4 hours of strength training per week (with generous rest) + warmups. But then I added some time for OS resets, S&S style stretching and some jogging here and there. It might even be more than 8 hours in some weeks if I count my commutes by bike.

 

[Ap0c]

I've been doing hypertrophy work and there's a lot of sets involved so I reckon 6-8. I am going to transition to a more basic strength oriented program soon which might bring it down to 4-6.

And you didn't log any of that...we miss your cunning plan!

 

[TedM]

6 days of S&S @ 30 min.
5 days terrain/trail hike/walk @ 45 min (with my wife, so it counts toward the "happy wife, happy life" bucket too

6 3/4 hours..
