Activities can be anything physical that you enjoy doing or even chores you have to do anyway. Some examples would be walking, gardening, housework and other lawn maintenance duties.
Depending on your fitness level and goals exercise times and days will vary. The best thing you can do to make exercise a priority in your life, is hire a personal trainer to ensure you get effective, quality workouts in every week.
Beginners - Exercise 1-3 Times Per Week
-When you are a beginner anything you do physically will improve your health and well-being.
-Start by making it essential that you accumulate your 60 minutes of activity a day.
-Determined and excited beginners can start out by exercising 2-3 times/week. I would not recommend anymore right away. When you first start out it's ideal to have a day or two of rest in between workouts to screen for injuries or conditions.
-It's easy for some beginners to get burnt out and discouraged. It's better to play it safe and make your transition in to a healthy lifestyle a smooth one!
Intermediate - Exercise 2-5 Times Per Week
-An intermediate exerciser is someone that has been working out consistently for a year or more. By this point you have more specific goals than to get healthy or lose a few pounds.
-A great goal is to try training for a charity race like cycling, running or speed walking.
-This is also a fantastic opportunity to hire a personal trainer to help you set up a challenging goal and then train to get there!
-A good week for an intermediate exerciser would be 2-3 strength training sessions and approximately 2 cardio workouts.
Advanced - Exercise 4-6 Times Per Week
-The advanced exerciser is a fitness enthusiast that knows his/her way around the weight room, has reached multiple goals and if they have not done so already, they're ready now to train for something extremely challenging and possibly professional.
-Advanced programs usually allow a day or two off per week while the rest of the week is spent training hard and eating clean.
-Advanced goals could be a fitness or body building competition, training for a sports competition like martial arts, a professional endurance event or extreme sports such as rock climbing.
-An advanced week would depend on what you are training for but would most likely include more than one training session a day some days, with strength and cardio in the same day.
No matter what level you are, remember that every workout must include:
A warm up for 5-10 minutes
A cool down for 3-5 minutes
5-10 minutes of stretching
Happy Training!
