I ask because I just realized that, while I'm physically active, I don't spend that much time outdoors. It's a shame, because I really like walks and such, and the weather is starting to get nice.
So, for those who didn't see the title: how much time do you spend outside?

In the winter months, considerably less due to a severe allergy to cold weather. But from spring onward, quite a bit. Most of my favorite activities are outside including(but not limited to) running around like a maniac, tackling objects, shrubbery and people, jumping into mud and frequently activities that involve several of these things at the same time.

Less than 1 hour- far too little

When the weather's nice, I do my reading outside. I also do various hippie related physical activities (hacky-sack, disc-golf) on a regular basis.

Sadly, this state is not conducive to outdoor activities, so while I'm usually outside for 2-3 hours per day, these days usually only account for about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the calendar.

I need to move. :(

Weekdays it'll be at least two hours, just through walking to work/home and wandering around town at lunch. Weekends will be anything from nothing to several hours.

Just the time it takes to get from the front door to the car and then from the parking lot to the classroom, and then the opposite way, too. Less than an hour, unless I have some special reason to go outside. It's too hot outside usually, and I could get sunburn.

Does going to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich count as "outside"? It has lots of sunlight....

Considering that it rains here 9 months of the year, much less than I'd like to, but I still manage to fit in 2 30 min walks most every day, despite the rain, and when the sun is out, I try for more.

Not much. Been utter pish weather lately.

1.5 - 2 Hours usually.

I take walks, run, and snowboard if I can get around to it.

Not enough.

*cackles* I am the first to admit i spend more than 5 hours a day outside - about 8 in total a day i think

of course, its 95% at night, i work graveyard shift where i am safe from the evil curse of sunlight

about 8 in total a day i think

You're not sure? Maybe you should lay off the weed...

I'm an engineer. When I go outside, I'm squinting against the sun and muttering things like "too bright ... too bright ..."

So, for those who didn't see the title: how much time do you spend outside?No clue. It varies. For instance, I was just in London for a bit more than a week and did a lot of walking outside. Now that I'm back home at Uni, where everything is relatively close together and I have a TV to call my own, I do less walking.In the winter months, considerably less due to a severe allergy to cold weather. The weather isn't cold, you're just underdressed. :D

A lot of my 'outdoor time' is spent smoking tahnks to our new law, so it can hardly be classed as healthy time

I skate at the very least 12 hours a week. Hopefully more like 20 most of the time though. I also walk a lot, and due to lack of anything fun to do, my friends and I have been playing manhunt in the woods every night this week.

When I'm at uni I'm outside quite a bit walking and cycling around. When I'm at home, much less, some days I don't go out at all :( I should go for walks more often.

I guess between 1 and 1.5 hours a day. mostly walking (because I don't have a bike for some reason). I wish it was more.

what job do you do?

I like being outside, but I like doing things which can only be done inside too. :(

I live in one of the most beautiful climates in the world and have a job that keeps me outside, so I'd say that an average of five hours a day is on the low end.

As much as I can when the weather permits.

Well today I was in the garden for 5 hours putting together a trampoline.

In winter, not a lot, maybe an hour or so.
In Summer, quite a lot, sometimes all day. Head to the beach, the park or just go out.
