How often should I exercise, and how long?

For my students, I instruct them to do workout for from 2-6 times a week, and at least 3 total hours a week but not more than 6 hours unless they reach advanced level. For beginners, once a week for 30 min for 1 month. 2nd stage, 2-3 times a week for total hours of 1.5 for 1 month. If you can keep that up after 2 months, then increase frequency and duration to your needs.

Like any other muscle, your heart & lungs can use a break every now and then too.  I'd keep any HEAVY running to a maximum of 5 times a week.  Light jogging can be done daily however.

Make sure you are consistent, do at least 30 minutes of cardio each day, and don't hurt yourself.  See if they offer trainers or a workout program for you while you are there.

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.

run. Start with 5 min. the 1st day and increase by 5 min. everyday. Do it until u can run as long as an average soccer game time lasts. Eat a healthy diet lots of fiber and greens. Good lock!!

Eat healthy foods and limit the treats, have a regular schedule, and a regular daily exercise with at least 20-30minutes of cardio-vascular type exercise, i.e. running, or biking or swimming.

Try increasing your distance.  For fitness and weight loss, it would be good to run for about 30 minutes 3 - 4 times a week.  Don't do it suddenly--build up to that.  A good rule of thumb to not hurt yourself is to increase mileage by about 10% each week.

Depends mostly on you! At LEAST 30min a day. I do 90 min a day but that just me. So really whatever you are comfortable with aim for at least 15-30min a day and maybe every month or 2 add an extra 5 min in!

5-6 days a week...shoot for 30-45 minutes a day.  Don't schedule your day off...take a day off when your body feels like it needs it.

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.

Alright this is a good question, but it would depend on ur condition at this time.  An average person should be at least to run a mile in 7-8 mins, thats a person who never usually runs that often.  If you are in good shape and run constantly, it should take 6-5 mins.  O and whoever said 3-4 minutes, im sure that this isnt an olimpic runner we are talkin 2 lol

start exercising and continue regularly for not less than 30 minutes twice a day, you will find a change only after a month. relentless, continueous effort only can help.

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.

Go jogging for about 15-20 minutes, do about 20 sit-ups a day, and 10 push-ups a day. Increase your sit-ups and push-ups by 10 each week. Cut back on foods high in bad calories. Set goals for how fast you want to finish each part and concentrate on what is being worked as you do it. If you ever feel like giving up on whatever way you choose, just remember what inspired you to do it in the first place. Do this every day of the week you can, making sure you give it its own time slot or you'll start missing your days. Take a break from it at least one day though, and I wouldn't reccomend you do it close to the time you plan on going to sleep, do it at least 2-3 hours before then so your body can cool down and your heart rate can slow down.
