You should talk to your doctor to be cleared to do strenuous exercises. He may have you start slow, and work up to something more strenuous. You definately don't want to cause yourself to have a heart attack or something.

If you are asking if taking a break during your usual work out...then the answer is a break is fine.\n\nIf you're asking if you can skip a day in between work outs, sure. It's ok to exercise only three or four times in a week.  Your body needs time to rest. \n\nAlso, if you're doing strength training don't do the same exercise every time. Your body gets use to it and it's usually less productive.  Do a certain series of exercises one day, then the next time you work out do another. That was the information I was given as well.

everybody is saying "how fit you are" and they are right too an extent.\n\n\n\nit all depends on how hard yo work your body should take about 5 minutes after a good workout. if the workout was good then you should be tired afterwards

Don't over excercise, you'll wear yourself out-\ntry changing it up- go swimming or just walk or if you have some friends that like to excercise ask them to join you or a parent- it can be good bonding time- if you are part of a gym- try some yoga, it's toning and strengthening.\nIf you are still tired, see if maybe certain foods are getting to you, sugary foods and bread can make your system go into a slump making you too tired- try more fruit or vegetables.  If your mom can ask her to get you some Iron - like geritol- personally I take HemaPlex that I get from a natural store- it has alot of other useful vitamins in it.  Also try to have more protein- if you are a vegetarian then have the tofu ...  If you go to the library you can ask the librarian where to find the health books, you can read all about Omega acids and stuff like that that can be useful to you and your family...  Also, sometimes when your tired you just need a quick small walk.\n\nSince you say you are very tired I also urge you to watch out what tim of day you exercise, if it's the middle of the day in very hot weather the sun could just be too much for your body.\n\nDrink plenty of water, sometimes tiredness can stem from not enough water inthe body.  Don't have soda or coffee, the caffiene in those will make you more dehydrated.  Plus thing containing CornSyrup are not really made for the body to break down.  Stay away from diet/fatfree or fake sugar stuff- those are full of harmful chemicals that can also wreak havoc on your body  no matter your age!\n\nTeas like White tea or Green tea can help you with energy as well.  \n\nTry going to bed at a regular time and waking up at a regular time.  "Every half an hour before midnight is more important than any hour after midnight".  Trust me.  But also because there are scientific reasons for it.  The human body actually "repairs" itself at night- I think PBS or anyother medical/health journal at the library or on the net can help you read more about that.  I believe they said your blood and cells are "cleansed" at these crucial hours, especially since you are still young.\n\nLimit the time you spend on the computer to an hour.  Your brain needs real nourishment not just entertainment.\n\nAlso- a book called "eat right for your type" if you know your blood type can point you in the direction of some healthy food for you- if you are eating the right foods then you will notice that your body will not be as tired either.\n\nTalk to your parents.  If this tiredness persists you may want to see a doctor.\nNotice the food you are or have been eating when you feel tired- and let your doctor know about it.\n\nAlso if you must sleep during the day limit it to 20-30 minutes any more than that and it will be harder to sleep at a decent hour at night.\n\nI do wish you the best of luck in this,  sorry I wrote soooo much.

It does not mess things up to exercise at different times during the week.  I have always tried to exercise in the morning, just to get it out of the way and it makes me feel charged and energized.  I have exercised at night also, because that is the only time I can go to my kickboxing classes.  Some say at night messes up your sleep patterns.  It does not bother me.  I think as long as you exercise whatever time of day it is and stick to it, you are doing great!

Hi! I'm a certified personal trainer with 10 years experience. I am wondering if you'd been running prior to this? Did you just decide to take up running then do 2 days in a row? Running is a high impact sport. It is best alternated with lower-impact activiities. Whether you were running before or not, it is better to run every OTHER day and let your muscles get some recovery time. Muscles don't get stronger with exercise, they get stronger AFTER exercise, during the recovery period. Rest is essential to muscle growth and fitness advancement. Doing light workouts on the days between allows more blood flow to the overworked muscles and speeds up recovery time. Taking 1000 IU's of vitamin E has also been shown to reduce muscle soreness by repairing muscle oxidation on a cellular level. Running 3 days per week is excellent for cardio fitness, but every day of the week ABOVE 3, increased your chance of injury by 100%.  I would recommend talking with a trainer who has a certification from ACE, NASM, ACSM or NSCA. Those are the 4 best certifications out there. There are more than 200 others that are just paper. Let them design you a program. Some trainers will even do some muscle tests on you to find out if you have muscle imbalances or problems. The orthodics might be hurting you, not helping. Please seek professional advice. It could save you some serious injury for a very small price.

how long/hard do you work per day?  i guess the obvious answer is to make sure you sleep enough and eat enough.  if you do, then you can give it a shot...it's pretty cheap.  it's mainly used by bodybuilders so if it gives them the energy to go through their workouts, it should probably get you through the day.

Do a lot of cardio...anything that gets your heart rate up a lot. Then you can focus on more spot training exercises. As for if it's too much for you...listen to your body. A workout should be strenuous but if you really feel like it's TOO much, then slow down a little. Instead of doing one muscle group at a time, I would work each of them a little each workout. This way, one specific muscle group doesn't get burned out. As for your diet, it depends on what you're eating. Eat a lot of fruit and vegetables (especially green ones) and drink water.

depends on your level of fitness and if you training for a specific event; generally if you body aches all the time you are doing to much.  I train with weight, row, and do martial arts and Yoga, was ill for little over a week (still all little cough) but the accidentally imposed rest time really made a difference to my body appearance (for the better).  So rest is as important as the exercise.  Every day if you working different muscle groups, three to 'max' of four if you doing a general overall workout.  Don't work to hard as you will likely just put your self of and end up doing nothing.  Hope this helps

You can to to the gym almost every day, but never 7 days a week. The maximum even professional athletes are recommended to train is 6 days a week. Your hormonal and cellular systems need to be rested, which is why many bodybuilders train 2 days on, one day off, etc. And if you do train regularly, do not do the same type of workout 2 days in a row. Use variety. I suggest a maximum of 5 days a week training for the average healthy person, using variety in sessions. Look at it this way, if you have limited training sessions you look forward to them more and will train with more intensity. There is a quality as well as a quantity approach to exercise.

Whenever you will actually do it.  First thing in the morning works really well for a lot of people (me included) but if afternoon or evening is better for you, do it then.  Some experts suggest not exercising within 2 hours of going to sleep, but I've found that if you do this and then take a long, relaxing shower you can usually fall asleep pretty easily.  (I used to have to be at work at 7 am, so working out in the morning was NOT gonna happen.)  The most important thing is that you do it, so do it when it works for you!

Yes. I've got a home gym setup and do my exercises in the morning. I wake up in the morning, have a couple cups of coffee, then do my weight training 5 days a week. After that, I get ready for work, which I start at 7:30 in the morning.\n\nFor me, it is the best time. The wife and kids are still sleeping, so there are no distractions. It also give me a ton of energy to get through the day. And, when I get home from work, I'm too mentally tired that I can't get motivated for lifting. I do my cardio then, while watching TV (not too much mental work needed for that).

I think you almost have to go first thing in the morning. If you put it off until later in the day, you'll just find a reason to not make it. (Not that you would make anything up, it's just that things come up as the day goes on.)\n\nFor the past few months, I've been getting up an hour earlier and going to the YMCA. It is a GREAT way to start the day... a real energy lifter, in my opinion. After you get used to it, you'll find it becomes habit and your day doesn't feel the same if you missed a workout that morning.\n\n------\nWell... sounds like you have a full schedule. I would say the only way you could make it to the gym more would be to do it on the weekends or give up some of your obligations. I don't have the power to add a few hours to the day, or I'd try to help you out. :)

yes - you're over doing it...  keep your HR in the zone and you'll have a more efficient workout

When it comes to biulding muscle it all comes down to Form and diet... you can exercises 10 hours a week but if you are lifting wrong... using the wrong weight... You might be lifting wrong... If you want to see results higher a trainer that's your best way for success. But if that hasn't worked for you it might not be in yor genetics... I have been trying to years and have come close to looking good but it doesn't seem to work out for me either and I can't afford to keep paying for training either.
