How often have you signed up to a gym or committed to an exercise plan in order to lose weight, only to back out after a few weeks as you have no idea how frequently you should work out?<\/p>\n
If your respond is \u201ctoo many to count,\u201d you\u2019re definitely not alone. Knowing how many days you need to exercise may be confusing. This is particularly so if the amount of time that you\u2019re putting in doesn\u2019t match up with your fitness goals<\/a>.<\/p>\n So, if your fitness goal is to sweat it out on the treadmill more frequently in order to lose a few kilos or to increase the amount of weight you\u2019re lifting so that you can gain muscle, the following tips can help you hit your target sooner and with greater success.<\/p>\n If you want to work out just so that you can maintain your physical health, it is recommended that you aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or \u2013 alternatively – 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each and every single week.<\/p>\n Moderate aerobic activity (in order words, moderate intensity cardio) means that you\u2019re moving fast enough to talk but not to sing that new Taylor Swift song. Vigorous aerobic activity means that you\u2019re breathing hard as well as fast \u2014 too quickly even to chat.<\/p>\n Split up your minutes in any which way you like \u2014 you do you. If your goal is to sustain basic health, even brisk walking for 30 minutes, five days per week (remember to break a sweat!) will get the job done.<\/p>\nJust Trying To Stay Healthy? <\/strong><\/h2>\n
