Now that is the million dollar question, and I am going to try and answer that for you today.

To try and answer this question, let me start by saying that it depends on what exercises you do, the intensity of the exercises, the duration of the exercises, your metabolism and your weight. Now, there are other factors involved also, but the ones I have mentioned cover most of the issues.

If walking is going to be your chosen exercise for weight loss, then it should be at least 30 – 45 minutes of walking a day. and I am talking brisk walking, walking that will get your heart rate pumping. That should be your daily target. Walking is great, but it might not be able to give the results you want, in the time that you want. Use it as a start to kick start your training.

What about cardio, you are most probably wondering, how much cardio am I supposed to do? Forget about doing cardio for hours and hours on end. The best cardio workouts are those of high intensity and interval training. Also, make sure the cardio exercises that you engage in are those that target your total body or those that engage a lot of muscles. This way, you will burn more calories in shorter amounts of time. Rowing, swimming and Taebo are great examples of exercises that engage more muscles in your body.

Now, lets shift the focus to strength training, which is the path to go if you want to burn more calories, lose weight and maintain a healthy lean body. With strength training, you want to do full body strength training exercises that will engage most of your muscles, at least 3 times a week. For strength exercises to be beneficial for you, you must increase the intensity of your workouts and your movements. Exercises to start with include squats, lunges and pull ups just to name a few.

As you increase the intensity of your workouts, it will become even more crucial to rest your muscles after a session at the gym. A day for your muscles to recover should be adequate, after an intense workout.
