Not "Almost never".

I'm just a plain "Never". :)

3 times a week. The actual exercise part is never an hour or shit like that. It can be as short as 6 minutes, depends on the intensity.

30 minutes of high-intensity interval training is quite enough.
I guess that 30 minutes of high-intensity training might keep you fit and healthy, but Marty is mainly interested in burning fat so longer stretches of activity may be more helpful for him as 30 minutes may not be enough to burn much fat.

I'm actually more into weight lifting/circuit training to build some muscle. 30 minutes is not enough as cardio warm-up takes 10-15 minutes alone.

As I said, I should probably do it three times a week but it is hard, especially in winter.

I'm gonna probably add one or two 30 minutes of running per week once the weather allows for outdoor running.

I guess I chose 60 minutes because that's the time I spend with my trainer so thought this is a good measure.

And seriously, despite the Languish meme I am not fat. My BMI is 24, I have a bit of a muffin-top style fat on around my waist but mainly because I don't have a lot of muscle to hold it in. :lol:

I am working on my chest and my arms, though as I have been skinny for the most of my life, and now with a bit of fat around my belly, my skinny arms make me look ridiculous.

I think you'll find that weightlifting works better than cardio, paradoxically.

Plus - getting stronger is never, ever a bad thing.

Pretty much never.

You don't ride your bike for longer than 60 minutes?

Whenever I feel like it. Usually 2-3 times a week.

Languish ... the place where memes crawl up their own assholes to die, only to gain an unhappy eternal afterlife.  :P

Often, but it's just getting places, doing stuff and transport.
I don't work out as such, probably the last game of squash or badminton I had was 15+ years ago, most of my friends seem to have given up.   :(
