There is nothing wrong with that, as long as it is enough time for the muscles to recover before you work them again.

No, every other day is good, your muscles need at least 24 hours between workouts to rebuild.  What I like to do is upper body one day and lower body on the off days, this way you can workout everyday if you want, then give everything a break and just do cardio once a week.

at least five times a week.it is neccessory for one to do aerobic exercise at least 45 min a day five times in a week to prevent heart attacks.\nMay I suggest you, to do it daily.it is good to have 5 to 7 km walk daily that at least one hour to one and half hour in the evening and 45 to 60 min yoga in the morning.\nAerobics include brisk walking,swiming ,jogging,running,roping,or playing badminton .yoga is not a aerobic.

Swimming is a great way to tone up, however, it's not a great weight loss activity.  If you want to really start burning calories, I would recommend running or aerobics 5 times a week for over 20 minutes.  When you are doing aerobic activity (no stop and go; continuous) you are burning carbohydrates for the first 12 minutes.  After that time you start burning calories.  I used to be a swimmer, and I would like to get back to it.  I really applaud you for 3 times a week for an hour.

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....

You should stay in no more than 30 minutes at a time and you should only do this about 4 times a week.

This is a quote from an essay\n\n"In order for a jogging program to have an effect on increasing aerobic capacity or decreasing body fat, it must be done on a regular basis.  Exercising three times a week may be enough to maintain aerobic fitness but not enough overload on the cardiovascular system to increase it.  Four to five times a week is recommended to improve aerobic capacity.  Six to seven times a week will lead to greater improvement but also increases the risk of injury from overuse.  Less than three days a week also carries an increased potential for injury as a week's worth of training is squeezed into two days and two days a week may not provide enough overload to force an increase in  aerobic capacity."

Although adding some resistance training would probably be ideal, exercising every other is fine regardless. Generally there's a huge difference between exercising 3 times a week vs. none, with rapidly diminishing returns being added as you add more days. For instance a 3rd workout in a week might give you considerably better results than only two, but you wouldn't find much difference between adding a 6th compared to only 5. \n\nI think this holds true regardless of which form of exercise you choose so long as there is a sufficient degree of intensity.

If you're finding you're a couch potato, set your workout equipment up within view of the tv and pick a particular time ex. between 7-8 o'clock and exercise at that time every night or every second night whatever you decide your schedule should be. Keep in mind you won't see the results you're looking for with less than five days a week of working out.

I did it a few years back, super tiring doing it 5 days a week, i think if your going to do it you should have a good strength base and then try doing it 3 days a week in my opinion.

how often? If you're trying to drop 40+ pounds, you need to do cardio at least 5-6 days per week; walking doesn't typically constitute cardio, so pick up the pace. add strength training at least 3 days/week. if you're a newbie in the weight room, try doing a full-body circuit 3 or 4 times thru each of those days. if you want further clarification or any pointers, feel free to message me.

You should be able to lift it at least 6 times, but get tired around 12-15 times.\nIf you want big muscles, you lift more weight less times.\nIf you want sleek muscles, lift less weight more times.\nWhen you can easily do 15 reps with a weight, go up.  For arm exercises you might add 2.5 lbs and for legs 5 lbs.  Don't add so much that you can't do six reps.

get on your fours and raise your leg up as high as you can, keeping your foot flat. do each side about 15-20 times a day until you can increase your time.

I go to the gym 3-4 times a week.  I usually do the eliptical 1st for about 30 min, then I lift weights.  I'll do Chest one day, arms one day, and shoulders and back one day.

This really depends on your age and current state of fitness. But as a general guide you should\n\n1. Have aerobic exercise (walking briskly, running or bike riding) about 3 or 4 times a week, for at least 30 minutes. This can be at a gym or just out in nature.\n\n2. If you want to tone up your body do some light weights. You can buy sets of these or go to the gym. Do this about twice a week, starting slowly if you have never done it before. Work different musicle groups at each session. So, for example. work your legs, shoulders and tricepts on one session, and your bicepts, chest and stomach muscles on another.\n\nAlways listen to your body and don's overdo it. As you get more fitness you will be able to do more. \n\nFinally, remember to stretch after all exercise. There are plenty of charts to help you with that on the Internet.
