I work out for about 4.5 hours a week (3 ~1.5 hour sessions, 30m cardio and 1h lifting) and count calories. Fortunately I have a nice gym at my work and it allows me to leave after rush hour ends. Results in a net loss of 3 hours a week since my home commute at 6pm is 30mins vs the 10mins at 8 pm.

Personally I love it as a time to unwind. I spend so much time staring at a screen both for work and for fun (I typically spend my down time playing Counter Strike) that its nice to do something more primitive.

I also try to go hunting or multiple day hiking fairly regularly. I always feel more appreciative of what I have and my station in life after a few days sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag.
