People often email me request how many days per week should they workout. For the mean man wanting to lose weight and focus on fat loss, the talk is simple. They will get astonishing results by training hard only three days per week. Now for the mean person, that should be manageable.
And yes, all three of those workouts should be done in less than an hour. Study shows that 20-30 minutes of interval training is more productive than 40 minutes of slow cardio for weight loss. Integrate the intervals with 20-30 minutes of impel training. Do that 3 days per week, and pow, you'll lose fat fast. (With good nourishment too, of course!)
On off days, I encourage citizen to be as active as possible, but without production extra exertion to go to the gym. Walking to do your errands for an hour is great, if you have the time. Just do some form of health-promoting practice (which can mean a half hour walk, yoga, or aerobic training if you desire). The period and intensity of these off-day workouts depends on your fitness level, your recovery capacity, and your nourishment plan.
For many people, New Year's resolutions mean a return to high-volume cardio programs. But I urge restraint, caution, and conservatism. Trying to re-do your old running programs after some time off is a recipe for disaster.
If you plan on resuming a old running program, please start conservatively, especially if you are running on hard surfaces. Start easy. Build up in volume. Monitor your energy levels, impel levels, and mood. Be conservative, train consistent, and first-rate results will be yours.
And what about for beginners? How often should they workout?
Well, if you are the utmost of beginners, and haven't done any formal practice in a long, long time, then naturally do 3-6 bouts of 5 minutes of walking each day. Every day. Develop with your walking by expanding the time you walk and decreasing the estimate of "bouts" per day. For example, in week 3 of your practice program, do 3 bouts of 10 minutes per day. And by week 6, you should be able to walk for 30 minutes straight. That is a place to get started.
At the same time, Integrate your walking program with a expertly designed bodyweight 3-day impel program that you can do at home (heck, most beginner exercises are even done lying on the floor!). After 6 weeks, you can increase the intensity of your workout, as outlined by your personal trainer. Eventually, you can Develop into a more intense 3-day per week program.
