HOW OFTEN?
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to main-
tain 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 morn-
ing before your shower, during lunch hour or while watching the evening news. What’s more impor-
tant 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 min-
utes or more is recommended for best weight loss results.
