  • How much exercise is enough?

    Currently I'm power walking or cycling an hour a day is that enough?

    Thanks very much

    Anything over 30 minutes of cardio a day is good. But if you can try and work in some weight training also.

    Muscle is good!

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

      30 min-60 min of cardio 5-7 days/week, 3 days/week of weight training, 2 days/week of flexibility training (if you are involved in sports and more advanced)

          Thanks to all of you for your responses....I've always shyed away from weights because my mind tricks me into thinking that unless my heart is pounding and I am sweating and moving vigorously, its not 'real' exercise.

          I know I need to change that and reading your replies reassures me that a variety of exercise (not just walk/ cycling) is the best way to go.

          Thanks again
