EXERCISE GUIDELINES
Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.
How Often?
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at
least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you
have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal
faster with more frequent exercise. Whether it’s 3 days or 6 days,
remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime
habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if
they set aside a specific time of day to exercise. It doesn’t matter
whether it’s in the morning before your shower, during lunch hour or
while watching the evening news. What’s more important is that it’s a
time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a time when you won’t be
interrupted. If you are to be successful with your fitness program, you
have to make it a priority in your life. So decide on a time, pull out your
day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month!
How Long?
For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from
between 24 and 32 minutes per session. But start slowly and gradually
increase your exercise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past
year, it may be a good idea to keep your exercise times to as little as
five minutes initially. Your body will need time to adjust to the new
activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower
intensities has been found to be most effective. A workout time of 48
minutes or more is recommended for best weight loss results.
