For a plus size woman beginning an exercise schedule, and plans on going to the gym, how often and for what duration is the healthiest? -By this, I mean should I go for 3 days a week, thirty minutes at a time or 4 days a week 40 minutes at a time? What is the best combination for a beginner and what schedule should be the time that I sustain once I'm no longer a beginner?

Start small and work your way up. 3 X a week at 30 minutes sounds fine if you can do it. Anything is better than nothing.

I would start out kinda slow at like walking 30 min a day for a week then add more on slowly. That way u can get ur body used to working out a bit and don't wear urself out to fast where u don't want to get out and do it again And if u can get a workout buddy will make it alot more fun and give u support. Ur body lets u know what is to much and what is not enuff. Everyone is different while i can go around a track 6 times in 30 min maybe my friend can only go 4 or 5.

Start out small--walking. Get into a gym & if possible get a trainer. I would say at least 3 days aweek for at least 30 minutes if not longer. Do cardio and weights. This is where a trainer is helpful. They usually work an hour with an individual.

first you visit your primary doctor, tell your dr you plan on going to the gym. ask your doctor for his/her thoughts. to prepare for the gym i would start walking to prepare for more intensive exercise....
