subject: How long Should I Exercise? [print this page] Author: michaelrussell Author: michaelrussell
My recommendation is to follow the cardiovascular activity chart. This chart takes into account your primary goal, age, and current fitness level. The cardio chart is to be used as a basic guideline. You can always do more than is outlined in the chart, but make a concerted effort not to do less if you want to see fast results. The cardio chart is divided into categories based upon your fitness condition, from sedentary to extreme athlete. I suggest spending a maximum of six weeks in each category and then moving up to the next category until you reach maintenance level. The key is to really push through each category as quickly as possible. Remember, challenging yourself and raising the bar are essential to realizing your goals and especially to losing body fat. You do not need to reach the advanced or extreme category to attain your goals. All you need to do is move up to a category that is challenging but sustainable. As a matter of fact, most of you will attain amazing results just by moving up to the intermediate level.
I don't recommend more than one hour of cardio exercise per day unless you are an athlete or are performing extra aerobic activity to prepare for a social event or fitness competition. It's especially important to take baby steps if you are just embarking on an exercise regimen. If you have been exercising steadily for a while, use your own judgment, based on the cardiovascular chart and common sense. If you push too hard and too fast, you will risk burning yourself out, which is counterproductive. Understand that the body needs time for recovery and rest to be able to operate efficiently. Also, always make sure to do ten minutes of warm-up and cooldown activity.
Superfast Sculpting
With Superfast Sculpting, you will burn calories quickly and improve your heart health in the process. If you are just beginning, I suggest simply walking at first. Every once in a while, work yourself up into a light jog or maybe even a short run, and really get your heart rate up for ten to sixty seconds or until you feel you just can't keep up the pace anymore. Every few days, add one more short spurt. Remember, this is a process. As your cardiovascular stamina increases, the 2-in-l exercise routines will also become easier to complete.
