To get best results, you should work out routinely. Consistency is the key. Most people find that 20-30 minute workouts every other day are the most effective. If you are focused on losing stubborn fat, you should work on repetitions. Rather than doing exercises that require much strength such as heavy weight lifting, you should try less strenuous regimens with higher repetitions. That way, you will have a lower risk of muscle injury, but still get the results you want. Also, don't forget to maintain a consistent workout schedule to get optimal results. You may also want to add changes to your diet and eat healthier foods so that your exercise will be complemented with proper nutrition. Hopefully, this helped. Stay healthy!

That all depends on how much weight you want to lose/gain or if you're trying to maintain. IF you're trying to lose weight I'd do 30 minutes of weights 5-6 days a week and 45-60 minutes of cardio 5-6 days a week.. I'm only saying this due to my own personal experience with losing weight. If you're quite heavy, then you wouldn't need to work out that much at first. If you're trying to maintain, I'd do about 30 minutes of cardio 3-6 days a week and weights 30 minutes 3-5 days a week. I'm not an expert though. Good luck!

You should start with 30 minutes 5 days a week. Then after a couple weeks try 60minutes for 6 days a week. Leave one day as your free day so you have something to look forward to.

Work up to at least 40 minutes, or work slow for 40 minutes and then increase the intensity. Cardio will build your heart if you do it for 40 minutes.

You'll have to provide a little more information like what your specific goals are ie;weight loss,strength building,general fitness or other.The length and intensity of your workout depends on your specific goals that are also affected by diet and rest.Send me a message stating what you want to do.I'll answer it if I'm able.If I'm not sure I'll tell you that I'm not.
