How Often Should I Exercise ?


How often should I exercise?

People often get confused or overwhelmed by trying to work out how much exercise to do. They don’t do enough, and get disappointed by the lack of results, sometimes giving up and going back to their old ways. They try to do too much, and exhaust or injure themselves on their first attempt, which leaves them unable to do anything for a while. Sometimes, people think they’ll need to spend hours every day on a treadmill, and the thought of this puts them off even starting. But it’s simple. All you need to do to begin with is exercise 3-4 times a week. For example, you could choose Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and once over the weekend. Have a rest day in between to let your body recover. You may want to train more than that, even every day. I have one day off per week to give my body a complete rest, but this is different for everyone.
Warning, you will eventually want to train everyday as the feeling of being fit and healthy will take over your mind and body.
