40 hours a week is quite uncommon, but elite cyclists can put in upwards of 30 hours. With that type of volume, intensity management is quite important. You need to do the large majority of your exercise at low intensity for it to yield good results.

Lots of pro runners run over 100 miles a week, once you’re there it’s not so bad. Cyclists will do even more, bike packers get excited by the idea. As a kid I went to canoe camp and we would paddle for 40 hours a week sometime. Not sure if I should include through hiking.
