Thank You

Answer 1

Hours??!! No way. Thats obsessive. I do 30 mins of cardio a day except Sundays.

Answer 2

Your needs are relative to your age, health and the stress of the work out. In body building, you need to give your body a chance to recover and build the muscles. This usually means daily is not good. But if the excercise is jogging or walking, daily is no problem at all; you need only gradually build-up the distance or speed as your muscles get adjusted.

If you are trying to reshape yourself as in body building, you can experiment with 2 or 3 times/week and perhaps consult a trainer at a fitness center.

Answer 3

I workout 2 times a week for 1 hour. Stationary bike, bench press and a lot of other stuff. Different days I use different machines. Plus a 3-mile outdoor walk once a week.

Answer 4

3 days a week, 2 hrs at a time, Muy Thai kickboxing. I try to jog or play basketball on my off days. Any kind of martial arts will give you a great work out, plus it's a skill that you can learn along the way.

I walk to the mail box, store. Walking is best to start before running. Cleaning and moving furniture for family.
Targets all musle groups. Basic Training. That is for people who want to be healthier and stronger. Must maintain that amount of exercise. Take it slow and begin to add different work outs. I use music and dancing.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”.
