Question

How long should I exercise daily?

Answer 1

It depends on your level of fitness. If you are starting out, try 30 minutes every other day. as you become more fit you can increase your schedule to your liking.

Answer 2

It really depends on your level of fitness but the general rule is 30 minutes a day. Often people find it hard to get in a continuous stream of exercise for 30 minutes either because it is physically demanding or one simply does not have the time. If that's the case, exercising in three 10mintute intervals throughout the day is a great way to get your workout in and it isn't any less effective than the full on 30minutes. Remember to get in a balance of cardio, stretching, and weights exercises. Good Luck!

Answer 3

The length of your daily exercise routine has a lot of factors to consider. Not only what you'll be doing in that time, be it free weights or Pilate's, but your body type. If you are on the shorter side you need to work your lower half a lot, or time will cause cellulite on the back of your thighs (not pretty). Other factors are your age, which determines how fast your metabolism is working, and what exactly you eat if it's pretty much healthy- good, if you eat junk then you have a lot of work ahead. If you have a high stress work environment working out relieves your body from stress hormones which will cause complications towards middle age. If this is your first time with a daily exercise routine I suggest 20-30 minutes. Hope this was some help. . .

Answer 4

If you are serious about doing exercise, then a minimum of 30 minutes a day, 3 - 5 times a week for a start

Answer 5

Atleast 30 minutes a day.Or a whole hour.10 minutes of exercise,10 to take a break,then 10 to exercise again.Just continue the pattern till the hours over.

Answer 6

i agree with the others that the time spent on exercise depends on your stamina and slowly build up your stamina (therefore increasing the time spent). However, i don't agree that exercise does not keep you fit. i think that exercise and having a healthy diet work together to keep fit. i suggest 30 to 90 minutes per day depends on your stamina and the exercise you should go on is of high intensity. hope it helps.

Answer 7

i've read that at a minimum, exercise at least 10 minutes. but if you can do longer than that, then go for it. i personally workout about an hour a day. i take weekends off.
