How many days a week is it recommended that a person should exercise?

Answer 1

about 3-4 times a wekk depending on how hard you work out.

It depends on what kind of workout you are doing. If you target different muscle groups you can go up to 6 days. I recommend about 3 to 5 depending on your schedule and workout type. If you do full body workouts then you should leave at least a day of rest after you workout. Make sure you include cardio in your workout as well.

Working out for 3 days a week is usually seen as perfect. Mon, Wed and Fri workout and weekend rest period is good for full body workouts. The reason for this is that when you lift weight you create micro-tears in the muscle and also create new pathways for the blood to flow through. When this happens the muscle breaks down and needs time to repair; now keep what i just said in mind, imagine you fall and take skin off your knee, if you fall on it the next day it will never recover, yeah? Your muscle needs at least 24 hours to recover between workouts and after a few sessions 48 hours is required for strength gain.

Of course nutrition is a big part of this, you need protein to rebuild muscle tissue, whey protein shakes are ideal for post workout drinks but of course, not everyone can afford 30 quid a month. chicken, fish and red meats are great sources of protein. Eggs too are good but watch the fat content.

Four or five days a week

Answer 2

A good place to begin, is to gauge the degree of physical activity, on how active you are before the initial training regimen, as well as any physical limitations you may have.

4-5 days a week of consistent training is ideal for most serious fitness enthusiasts.

Most importantly, use the SMART way of training and listen to your body, to make your training most effective.

Answer 4

That depends on what your ultimate goal is and where you currently stand (i.e. age, weight, body fat, etc.).

If you are training to be a bodybuilder, then 5-6 times a week is probably an accurate estimate.

If you are simply trying to stay healthy, 3 times a week is a solid number. Again, as stated above, it all depends on what your goal is and where you stand.

Answer 5

To live a healthy lifestyle Drs. recommend that people exercise regularly. It is estimated that three days of exercise of 30 minutes or more will reduce the risk of many diseases and contribute to an overall healthy lifestyle.

Answer 6

It depends on your goals.

* For fitness - 4 to 5 days

* Bodybuilding - Weight/mass gaining - 3 to 4 days * Bodybuilding - contest preparation - 5 to 6 days * weight loss - 4 to 5 days

Answer 7

Well, the recommended amount of time is one hour a day which if u multiply by 7 for 7 days in a week it's 7 hours right?

Answer 8

Depends on your goals and how active you are in your daily life. Half an hour each day of an elevated heart rate would be good.
