How long is your typical workout (weights, not cardio)?

I always feel like a slacker when I'm in and out so quickly. But I do a quick 5-10 minute warmup on the bike and then I hit either upper or lower body exercises. Those take me 15-25 minutes, depending on what I do. I tend to superset as well, which speeds things up.

I'm following NROLFW and only on stage 2 but I love how quick the workouts are - I am back home within an hour! I did hear they get longer though but I totally believe you can get a good weight workout in in 30mins esp if lifting heavy.

If i'm doing only weights I typically do bodypump which is an hour. 

Otherwise i do circuits which is usually an hour

My workouts can be that quick, too. I feel like a slacker also, though. I don't always rest in betw sets either so that is why. I think it's fine, as long as your from is good.

I have a hard time doing weights on my own - I get bored very fast and the whole thing seems to go very quickly.  Whenever I can though, I take the Body Pump class which is an hour of strength with a weighted bar (minus a few minutes in between each muscle group to add/remove weight).  I know not all gyms have Body Pump but some have other variations of it like "Strictly Strength" and what not.

30 minutes max.

I'm not a good example of balanced cardio/strength time. Running takes up so much of my time, that I'm just happy if I get my 10 planned strength workouts in per month. They range from 10-20 minutes, I would say.

I do full-body workouts. Three sets each of eight different exercises (broken into four supersets), plus core. It normally takes me 45 minutes to an hour, including warm up and stretching.

Not including warm up and cool down, about 30 minutes.

I usually do my weights on my lunch hour, which really only leaves me about 30 minutes for my actual workout.  You can do a lot in a little amount of time if you combine large and small muscle groups.

I suck and am not huge into weight lifting, though I know it is important.  Just recently I started adding it back in 2 days a week for 25-30 minutes before I do my run.

About 40-45 minutes, two or three times a week.  How many times depends on whether I am able to make it to spin, and if the weather is bad and I can't run. (I am a baby in the winter, and I admit it!)

I lift for an hour to 90 minutes, 5 days a week. To be fair, that hour consists of machines and free weights concentrating on certain areas -- back/tris (2 days), chest/tris (2 days), shoulders (EOD), legs (1 day). Floorwork  -- abs -- crunches and planks, push ups --(every day), and occasionally a quick TM run if I need cardio . I pyramid my weights and do 5 sets of 15 for each exercise.

It takes a while, but I do do a lot of chatting in between. I go in the AM so there aren't a lot of people there, and my neighbor and her kids are there too playing in the child care room, so we really make it fun for everyone (PS -- my 4 yo won't let me leave, she loves it there, so it motivates me to stay)
