How many minutes of exercise should you get a day?

Answer 1

Cardio is any activity that gets your heart rate up and keeps it there. You can do cardio as often and as long as you want, as long as you aren't over-training your muscles. Some studies have shown that there is no cardiovascular difference between doing 2 days or 5 days of cardio per week. So, if your goal is cardiovascular health then two or more times per week is good. If your goal is fat loss then you just want to burn more calories, so it would be better to go as often as possible. It has been shown that the intensity of the cardio is much more important than the duration, for both fat loss and cardiovascular health. Four minutes of tabetas will benefit you infinitely more than two hours of playing DDR. Over-training is when you continue to work muscles that aren't finished healing. When you do this, your muscles never heal completely, and thus never get stronger, and if you continue to do so you will cause permanent damage.

Answer 2

You should exercise 30 minutes every day for a month. You will loose weight or if your already skinny you could get a six pack it works for me. Exercises include

sit ups, crunches, push ups ect.

Answer 3

it is recommended that 30 minutes of strenuous exercise a day will keep the body fit and working to perform needed tasks.

However since you are asking for a GOOD cardio workout, it would be better to work out between 60 and 90 minutes.

Answer 4

it depends on every unique body type, i was always recommended however no more than 20 minutes INTENSE workout, however the timing for a lower effort workout would obviously increase, if your aiming to lose weight for example, on the treadmill, 30 minutes at 65% of your sprint would suffice.

Hope this helps
