How many hours a week on average?

[Ming the Merciless]

There is a thread about a family thinking someone overdid the exercise. I wonder how much exercise folks here are getting a week. I would estimate I get in about 13-16 hours of exercise a week. It does not vary that much over the year though there are a few outliers. So how many hours a week are you exercising on average and does that vary over a year?

If dog walking is exercise then 16 hours a week , we have at least an hour out with the dogs every day.
If not then about 9 hours on average per week out on my bike.

In the summer and spring I was doing at least 10 hours a week on the bike, with the cold weather now it's dropped down to about 5 or 6. I also do an hour or two of walking each week.

4 hours swimming, 3 hours gym and 3 hours cycling, I do not call walking or working etc as exercise. I believe in quality over quantity.

On the bike I clock up about 13 hours/week (so Strava thinks), and I do enjoy a walk, so probably around 15

Loads, all cycling related. It’s at least 16 hours over the weekends, often more, and 3 or 4 hours during the week.

8-12 hours/week cycling, plus another 3-4 walking at the minute. In the summer it's more 12-16 hours/week on the bike and at least 5 walking. I don't do much else to be honest

Plus a bit of scuba diving, but that's not really exercise

So a 5 hour hike over a mountain would be classed as what?

I've done 220 miles turbo training this month...Nearly 15 hours and that's not including my commute.

Blimey I spend hours on the turbo each month and mine never moves.

The back wheel moves but strangely the front doesn't.

Same on mine, in fact the front wheel is not even in the same building.

I grab about 5 hours on the bike a week, hard graft commuting at 30mins stints each way.

I don't feel like i overdo it but i am genuinely in constant discomfort and the fabled 'Friday legs' are more than a psychosomatic complaint...
