How many days per week for exercise?



Recommended Posts

If you want to lose weight. Aim to exercise between 45-60 minutes a day. 30 minutes of exercise is good to only maintain your current weight.

I do three body pump classes per week and in between those classes I do spin and/or step. Weekends off. I love how strong I feel

One issue I am running into is that my back really hurts after I do a mere 30 minutes on the treadmill. I have been doing some resistance bands and crunches hoping it is just the fact that I need to build up the back muscles. But, it makes me not want to do the treadmill because I am in pain most all day long from it.

You could try exercise bike or rowing machine where your back isnt under so much pressure.. I have a bad back and treadmill isnt really comfortable for me so i use an exercise bike and rowing machine they work great :)

I workout 4 days a week

2 days 1 hour cardio and half hour weights

2 days 30 mins each weight training and abs.

I have lost 105 lbs, so it works for me.

Sunday-weights and cardio one hour

Monday-water aerobics at bariatrics

Tuesday- cardio and weights/strength

Wednesday- walk 2 miles

Thursday- weights and cardio one hour

Friday- walking 2 mikes or rest and veg out

Saturday-body pump, swim, or walk 2 miles

Thus is the beginning of my routine two weeks now. Feel sore but taking it slower

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
