6 days a week (sometimes 7), twice a day. Usually an hour or two in the morning and then another hour or two at night.
I don't have a set routine once I'm there - usually elliptical, stair climber, recumbent bike or treadmill (although usually its not a lot of treadmill because I have back problems, I avoid anything high impact). I will do those for as long as I can, rotating through things. Like, today, I did 17 miles on the bike and 1.5hrs on the stair climber, so tomorrow morning, I will probably go for the elliptical and then more biking, but with less resistance. At least 3 or 4 days a week, I weight train for about 30 minutes and everyday I do sit ups, push ups, lunges, wall sits and stretches at home.
I don't have any kids or real responsibilities outside of work, so I try to spend my spare time pushing towards my goal weight. It is a lot, and not a lot of people have the time to dedicate towards working out as much as I do - so thats something I'm very grateful for. I'm hoping that when my weight gets down, I will be able to start to taper back on the gym and trade it for the fun things that I want to do now, but don't do because of my weight. (Swimming, hiking, etc...)
It's all about finding a balance that works well for you and that your body likes. Hot soaks in the bathtub are a life saver!
