How often should I excercise?

it depends on the type excerising that you're doing. to burn fat 30min, 3-4 times a week, cardio workouts are best. that does NOT include your warm-up & cool-down time. it should be 20-30min of a heart pumping excercise (i.e. running, cycling, swimming). if you have been doing 3wks of weight-lifting, of course you're not losing pounds, you're gaining muscle mass. and muscles are 3 times heavier than fat. if you just want to lose pounds drop the dumb bells and pick up a jump rope.

I've been doing a variation of Max-OT. I workout 5 days a week, doing 1 or 2 muscle groups a day, and hit each muscle group once a week. I do this in the morning, and in the afternoon when I get home from work, I do an hour of walking on the treadmill (about 3 miles).

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.

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.

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."

Consistency with an exercise program in which you do cardio 3 - 5 times per week (keeping hr around 120- if you are a beginner) for 20-40 minutes each time. And do weight training at least twice a week.  Also, watch what you eat.  \nUnfortunately, we cannot spot reduce; however, these things will help you lose fat over all - including your abdominal area!

It depends on your metabolism and your body in general.  Once a day should be considered healthy but not everyone is healthy.  Your eating habits have a lot to do with it.

I think three hours is sufficient.  I think a better indicator is are you sweating and feel like you are being exerted?  Check your pulse.  Try to get it to 60-70% of your max heart rate to get a moderate workout.  Heartrate max is normally calculated by subtracting your age from 220.\n\nAlso, try other exercises like stair stepping.  From my experience, stair stepping definitely gives you a workout after 20 minutes if you set the right intensity.

A few good examples are running on the treadmill, using the elliptial machine, or exercise bike. About 30 minutes a day is a great cardio workout!

It's recommended to exercise all over but site below gives spot exercises.  Walking an hour a day is good, but take slow stride, break into jog, then slow down, speed up in bursts, etc., to change metabolism.

Depends on the day. My maximum is at least 9 times (I don't have an exact count...I lost track). I often have days with 4 or more times. My average lately is 2-3 times a day, but some days are more active than others.

Generally 6 days a week in the gym for 1 hour.\n\nRegards\nt$k\nhttp://tsk911.hi5.com

Running in general is a good cardiovascular exercise.  However your frequency is too low to really have much benefit.  I would recommend running for about 3-4 times a week.  Eventually once running a certain distance becomes easy, you need to increase that distance.

Just follow the basics: Eat a small healthy meal Every 4 hours (don't skip breakfast). Increase your daily activities such as walking, riding a bike, swimming, yard work, house work. Find an exercise program that you like and do it two to three times a week. Finally make small steps daily to improve your overall health mind, body and heart.

It depends on your current physical state.  If you are seriously overweight, you should talk to your doctor first to make sure you don't have any underlying problems that exercise might worsen.  Then, if cleared, start very simple.  20 minutes of any kind or aerobic activity is fantastic...this can be anything from mowing the yard to walking the dog; anything that gets your heart rate elevated for a sustained period of time will benefit you.\nTry to exercise at least 5 or 6 times a week, at the same time every day (preferably in the morning).
