For cardio you need at least 30 minutes per session but 45 to 60 minutes is better. You don't need more than 60 minutes per session. For a lifting weights session, you need to be done in less than 45 minutes because you deplete your glycogen stores.
You can see dramatic results within 3 months depending on your diet as you can see here

I have been working out 5 times a week for about an hour and I have seen great results. I usually do 30 minutes on my elliptical and 15 minutes speed walking on the treadmill. Also try and buy some of denise austins workout videos. They work great. If you do not have a lot of good exercise equipment try stairclimbing. That also works great.

You will find tons of advice out there, much of it contradictory. Personally, I believe that when it comes to exercise, variety is the spice of life. Do whatever rocks your world for that particular day, and do it often. Don't get too obsessive about the details because it sucks all the joy out of being active!

If you really want to get into shape, workout everyday for at least 30 minutes.

From what I get from your question it seems like your really fit so I would suggest maybe an hour a day, 5 days a week workout. You should checkout www.crossfit.com , my fiance loves it but it's really really really intense.
