How much exercise should I do a day?

Weightlifting (15 and 25 minutes for two days that week)
Yoga (10 to 15 minutes for two days that week)

Week three:
Cardio (35 to 50 minutes for two days that week)
Yoga (15 to 20 minute for two days that week)

Answer 2

how'd you come up with that number? you seem to be pretty thin. when I was 16, (5'5") I weighed about 115-120 and I was a stick with lots of muscle (played soccer whole life). instead of the number, just stay active to feel good/healthy and in shape.

I would do 30min-1hr activity at least 5x week. (thats around guidelines for staying healthy). Do things like play tennis with friends, kick around a ball, basketball, go jogging, swim. but please dont overdo it. keep a healthy attitude-it'll be so refreshing instead of hearing about another girl with a disorder.

Answer 3

Stretch every part of you body - easy and slow, then 10 mins warm up, 20 mins as fast as you can and 10 mins slowdown / cooldown. At least four time a week evenly spread.

Answer 4

30 minutes, at least 5 days a week. That's the minimum for good health. Good luck!
