This the question that I get asked the most. I just want to say DO IT! Most importantly? Be consistent. Some people need variety to stay consistent. Some find the same routine everyday meditative and an easily kept appointment. Find the time of day when you can always devote to cardio, when you come first. Consistent cardio makes everything else you do during the day better. It's so awesome for excellent mental health. Okay, okay how much? The people that I train who are in great shape do a lot of cardio! They get 45-60mins 4 to 6 times a week. We don't all have the luxury of time and we need our yoga and strength training too.
Exercise Regularly and want to lose 5-8lbs? - Try intervals in your cardio and get a couple 60 mins in a week. Push harder and change it up!
Maintain? - 3-4 times a week. 45mins-60mins. Try to get at least one long cardio in a week. You have more chance to get into the fat burning stage in 60 mins.
Beginner to Fitness and Wanting Weight Loss? - Start with 30mins. Everyday. Try. Just walk. In 2 weeks Push to 40mins/5days. Add in a hill or more resistance on the elliptical. After 2 more weeks push it to 45mins. Stay there for a month making the workout more challenging with incline and resistance. After a month 3-5 times a week go for 50 mins some days and 60 mins on others.
