I have recently purchased a bowflex and they reccomend only working out 3 days per week, but I would like to make it a part of my daily routine.  What are the effects, positive or negative to doing this?  Will it hinder weight loss?

If you want to workout everyday, you should vary your routine. Upper body one day, lower body the next. You could also alternate with strength training one day and aerobic exercise the next.

I just started taking Slimquick three days ago.  I haven't seen any major results yet, but I have noticed my loss in cravings (especially for sweets), and a lot more energy.  If all of this energy keeps up, I should be able to do my cardio workouts longer, which hopefully will be able to help me lose more weight.

Anything that you actually use and continue to use is good. I have a Bowflex Sport, freeweights (straight bar, curl bar, dumbbell handles and variety of plates), exercise tower (for pull-ups, vertical knee/leg raises, dips),  swiss ball,  treadmill,  step-ercise (with video), and a yoga mat and blocks. I get quite a variety with all this, and have a hard time getting bored with my workout. When I do, I put together a new routine. I may not use everything for every exercise routine I put together, but I do use them off and on.\n\nOn top of all this, I also have a membership at the local YMCA, and go there to workout sometimes.

First of all great job and god bless you for taking charge of your life to a better you!!! Now my doctor told me that it is recommended by the American Heart Association that we need at lease 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. So here is what i do i either jog or use  the elliptical machine for 45-60 minutes 3 days a week. Then, 2 days out of the week i get on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then i do strength training for 30 minutes. You see that is just part of my life style. One other part is asking for gods help to get me through this because without him i wouldn't be able to do this. So what ever ever higher power you believe in ask for its help and you will get it. Also as part of my healthier eating style i follow the South Beach book its great! You can order it on-line or buy it at a book store for less than 20$. Well I hope this helped you if you want more support or advice don't be afraid to email my email is jgomez3582@yahoo.com. Take care Lisa! Oh by the way my name is James

It's ok to workout a few days in a row, as long as you are training different muscle groups each day. Do not workout everyday of the week, you need days off so the body can recover.\n                  good luck....

I went into a cutting phase for a boxing match and had excellent results with xanadrine 8 hour. 1 dose and it works all day unlike other fat burners that you take 3 times a day. If you use this you should get the results you are looking for with you're continued good diet and exercise of course.

Yes it might be discouraging, but keep going. I'm sore every day. When you push your body to its limits working out you strech muscels that will later reproduce and become stronger. When sore just take a day break and start working agian. Working out is fun and great for you. I'd 100 times rather be sore than fat! LOL!\n\nP.S.: This is normal

The strategy: Try to build up to five or six days a week of aerobic exercise, 30 to 60 minutes per session. When shedding weight is the priority (why build muscle if you're going to conceal it under a layer of flab?), your main focus should be aerobic work and calorie monitoring. "A low- or moderate-calorie diet and a lot of cardio time will drop the pounds," says Rubenstein. "But remember, some of that weight loss will inevitably be muscle tissue."\n\nWatch out: Hours of weekly endurance work will trigger a duster of metabolic adaptations that tend to deflate and weaken those strength-and-power fast-twitch muscle fibers, making it harder to lift heavy weights. Meanwhile, your smaller, conditioning-oriented slow-twitch fibers will take on a more dominant role.\n\nThe bottom line: Find time to hit the weights. How often? You won't lose too much muscle as long as you fit two moderate weight-training sessions a week around all those cardio workouts. Schedule one to three days between weight workouts (Wednesday and Saturday, for example). Target both the upper body and the lower body each session.

If you are not doing excessively difficult exercises then the best strategy is to work a muscle group hard and then skip a day, so I think it is OK to work out again. If you have an organized exercise program you want to work a muscle group hard and then use different muscle groups the next day to rest your sore muscles. \n\nMore details below.

That actually depends on what you're doing. You can do yoga and pilates everyday but weight training needs to have a day in between unless you're alternating body parts. ex: legs back bicep day 1 triceps chest shoulders day 2. Cardio can be done everyday as well but, it's a really good idea no matter what you're doing to take one day a week off!

No.\n\nIt's best to do each body part exactly every 2 or three days.\n\nMost people, at gyms, do Upper body one day and lower body the next.\n\nYour muscles grow stronger, when your body "thinks" that it needs to grow them stronger.\n\nAlways make sure that when you work out you do more than is comfortable.\nIf your body can do ten easily, than you should probably start doing 20.\n\n10 could be a great amount for some people, but if that is the case, you're just going to ruin your muscles.\nYou have to let your body rest so that it can grow the muscles you want to grow.\nYou know that you're doing it right if the next day (or the next two days) it feels wierd when you use it, bbut it doesn't hurt.\nPain the next day means that you over did it.\n\nSo if you can feel it each time you move it the next day, but it doesn't hurt, then continue doing it as you are doing it.

it works for me.. i took fitrum 3x a day just for 3 days now and i lost .5 kilo already.\n\nrecommended use of fitrum: 3 x a day and best taken before 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon, means you have to take your dinner before 4pm.  \n\ni think to effectively losing weight,  we also have to lessen our food intake and do some exercises.  for me, walking 30 minutes a day is best!  i also eat five servings of fruit a day..\n\ngood luck!!!!!!

You are improving your cardiovascular system (heart, blood pressure etc.).  It is strengthening your legs.  150 per minute should be sufficient.  It depends on your age and general condition though.\n\nAs to once every two days, you can cycle every day if you want, you don't have to take a day off.  You probably want to vary your routine though by doing some other exercises.  Even basis ones like push-ups and sit-ups.\n\nHave fun.

I agree with everyone so far. These products are usually unlikely to work at all, and sometimes have negative side effects. Nothing works better than regular sensible exercise and good eating.

A normal range is generally 3 times a day to 3 times a week.\n\nA person who has a perfect and fluid system, goes about 3 times a day!  Basically, after every meal.\n\nBut once a day is the okay too\n\nFor someone who goes less often, it is not that healthy for the system, though not entirely detrimental. It means waste is staying in the system for too long of a period of time.\n\nHere's more info:\nhttp://familydoctor.org/037.xml
