hmm, my gran does 30-40 min.  i'm not sure you can over do it.  when you get tired go at least 5 more min.!  push a bit more each time.  different people have different levels of stamima, no one will know for sure what amount of time is best for you.  however, 30-60 min of excersize per day is suggested.  good luck!

Mostly just keep running. You don't need to do speed work, but it is good to get some good mileage in.  You know 3 to 5 miles a day or whenever, as long as you are consistent.  When it gets closer to track start doing speed work on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I work out 5 days a week for 2 hours.. or at least a hour and a half.\n\n1/2 hour on the stationary bike.. 1/2 hour on the ski-machine.. and 1/2 -1 hour on the weight machines.\n\nsometimes I'll throw in a 20 minute swim to cool down.

maybe after a year!  you should workout at least 4 days a week. you can squeeze in 10minutes in the AM,then 10minutesPM.if you're strapped for time.you'll have quicker results 4 days a week. 5-6 days,even better.

What I do is about one hour on the treadmill, as fast as I can go (with a bit of an incline) to get me sweating and my heart rate up and then I get off of there and go to the leg and arm machines (lol, sorry for the lack of technical terms) and work out there for about 30 mins and then I get back on the treadmill and work out for another 30 mins (this burns more calories when you stop and start back again). I hope this helps and good luck with your exercise routine!! :)

That's a lot of cardio!  I usually only do 20 minutes four times a week.  What I find fun is an elliptical machine.  These are at all gyms.  I usually bring my iPod or plug my headphones into the TV so I can watch that.  Do something that takes your mind off of you exercising.

wow this is great..the goal for most people is 30 minutes of cardio activity everyday...so add a minute everyday for a week or so and you'll be there...heart rate shouldn't go much higher...don't know about road speed..use a stationary bike myself...but 13 mph seems as if it would be pretty darned good...good weight for your age...mix it up with other types of cardio so you don't burn out or get bored...

By asking, you show me you're motivated.  Find out what you enjoy doing - bicycling, walking, swimming, aerobics, weights etc.  Set a reasonable goal - initially 2-3 times per week for 45min to 60 mins per session.  Keep it varied because if you're bored you will quit. Having a friend to encourage you and work out with you will keep you motivated on days you would rather not go.  Other things that help are exercising early in the day - fewer chances for interuptions and excuses.  If you can keep it up for 3 months, it will become a habit and you will begin to miss it if you are unable to make a work-out.

6 times a week of cardio work is fine - but always give yourself one day off!\nIdeally vary your pace and intensity and type of cardio workout across the week too

You should try the MAX OT workout. You workout 5 days a week...with Sat. and Sunday off.  Workouts last no longer than 40 minutes.  The website lists every workout you need to do for like a 50 weeks period. In addition, it gives you descriptions of each exercise and how to do them.  It is a free sight.  I have used their system and have seen great results.  It sounds just like what you are looking for. \nhttp://www.ast-ss.com/max-ot/max-ot_intro.asp

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!

When you mention "a day", I can assume you plan to run very often, and when you ask this kind of question here, but not face to face with an experienced person, I assume you are a newbie. Correct me if I am wrong, I just try to help.\n\nRun every km in around 7 min for 30 min a day will do good for a healthy newbie. If there is a special condition, talk to the doctor first.\n\nLuckily, none of my students say I am foolish so far.

That depends.  Personally, I can't use a treadmill.  The impact is way too much for my joints.  I prefer and eliptical.  Also on an eliptical you can go backwards and work a whole other set of muscles.  My vote is the eliptical.

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.

A good website for treadmill recommendations in various price ranges is http://www.treadmilldoctor.com  If you are not sure what your price range is, there is a questionnaire on that website about how you intend to use the treadmill to help you determine the appropriate price range.  For instance, a 150 pound person who intends to walk for 20 minutes 3 times per week doesn't need the same thing in a treadmill as a couple who both intend to run 2 hours daily on a treadmill.

Hi! I have one of these. It is a little weird at first. I thought I was going to kill myself on it! However, with very little time you can get the hang of it.\nIt is a pretty good workout but isn't that intense. \nI prefer a treadmill.
