How many hours a day are you suppose to work-out for?

I'm planning on working out 4 days a week- but I just don't know how long each day. What do you all suggest? tia

I workout 5 days a week and 3 of those days include strenghth training. The days I do the strenghth training I do shorter cardio...about 30 minutes. The other days I do about 60 minutes cardio.

I just read somewhere you should burn at least 300 calories in a workout.

60 minutes of cardio?! You go girl!

I do 40 minutes of strength training and 30 minutes of cardio 4 - 5 times a week.
I'm not trying to lose weight though. If you are trying to lose weight, the more cardio you do, the better.

Thanks! I need to drop a few pounds...so recently added 10 minutes. I can't figure out why I have gained some weight and my pants are tight.

You sound like this girl on an episode of House. She was a marathon runner but couldn't figure out why she was gaining weight. Turned out she was pregnant!

Keep up the good work!

Can't say that very thought didn't come into my mind. We are not TTC yet....but hey at least I would know the reason why my pants are all so darn uncomfortable.
