How much exercise is enough?

So I recently joined a gym and have been spending about 2 hours there everyday… about 45 mins on treadmill, 10-15 mins in the sauna, and the other hour I usually just use the ab cruncher, epilator, step machine, and leg exercisers… 4 pecs each… how many mins should a person spend on each exercise? I feel like 2 hours isnt enough.. and another thing… it takes me forever to sweat… I could be in the worst pain imaginable… but it takes me a long time to sweat… and most other people are sweating from their face/head whatever and mine is hardly visible… why is that? What am I doing wrong? And is it better to exercise in the morning or at night? Or does it not matter?

Oh and another thing, how many calories should you be burning in your total workout? I heard you’re supposed to burn more calories than you consume or something like that… so basically I have to burn more than 2000 calories?

well 2 hrs is ok..like i do 90-100 mins treadmill(warm up and cool down included)..varying b/w the speeds..i dont do at a particular speed..i always try to vary..then ur body is not used to of a single speed.and yes i do 6 times a week…one thing to remember warm up and cool down is really very imp. 2nd thing always try to eat something before u do ur workout..if u have taken ur meals then atleast wait for 2 hrs to start ur workout..and i tell u after doing this much hard workout…whatever u eat within 90 mins..that will burn itself:D and won’t be stored as fat!
45 mins on treadmill is very less time…treadmill helps to tone ur body and this 45 mins is very less…try to increase the speed or the time..i go till 6.5 on mine…and thats too fast for me..just like jogging…but make sure do ur workout on that speed which is OK for u …not at which ur friend is doing..
dear u r doing cruel to ur body..too much machines in one day..make separate days for diff machines..try to organize ..dont mess with everything around.. but just tell me why do u want to do this workout? u want to lose some weight? u want to maintain urself? or whatelse?

sweating is not a problem..try to be hydrated..drink more water before, during and after ur workout..

exercise at any time of the day ..do when it suits u:)

if u want to lose weight make sure to follow a strict diet plan comprising of 1200 cals..
if u want to lose much weight follow a diet plan comprising of 1000 cals.

now if u r on 1200 cals..then if u burn 500-600 cals at ur gym..then within a month u wud feel much difference..so u r very messed up with so many machines..dont do bad to ur body for God sake.
