Exercising every day?

backinthenines

I am sure none of here are professional runners. Professional athletes work hard every day, we are all here to support each other and give advice to those who want to lose weight.

I gave the advice that I have read, so there really isn't any need to refer to my advice as "Rubbish" Everyone has their own opinion on everything, the least some could do is be polite!

I am sorry you were offended when I said your statement was "rubbish", but it was factually incorrect and there is absolutely no evidence to support what you said.

Now you say you read it somewhere and just repeated what you had read somewhere. Well, the problem with public forums is that some people will read what people post as if it is fact. I realise it's the reader's own responsibility to ascertain for themselves whether something is accurate or not, but as posters we also have a responsibility (it being a weightloss forum), not to be spreading inaccurate information about issues of relevance, whether that's nutrition, exercise or whatever.

Perhaps next time you just read something somewhere but have no idea of its accuracy, it might be worth adding that disclaimer, rather than stating something as if it were fact. After all there is a difference between fact and opinion.

Exercising 3 times per week for 30-45 minutes is often recommended for everyone, not just for weight watchers.

I've been a runner for 20 years, at my peak I ran 55-60 miles per week, but, always had a day off every 7-10 days. Also, recovery runs were built in to my training where a day of jogging slowly was used to burn off the lactic acid in the legs and gave the body/muscles time to recover. Usually a day off before a race meant I ran much faster in the race.

My busiest year was in 1994 when I trained and raced 1,550 miles!!! Phew!!!

Glad I kept my training logs, great to look back for motivation.

I dont really follow a trainging schedule at all any more.
I'll train most days, and if i dont feel up to it, due to some soreness, or a slower recovery or something, then i'll rest another 24 hours, then see how i feel.

I like to do something every morning as it motivates me to get everything esle done during my day...like work/cleaning the house/ whatev's.

I'll traing for strength 2-3 days a week on average i guess. Just depends. I found when i tried to follow some prescribed program, that I never did...So now i literally wing it every day...and log absolutely all training sessions.

EA Sports Active 2 - which I'm doing, and they consult experts to make this exergame has you doing exercise Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.

You have Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday off.

In the exergame you can change it up but this is the recommended schedule and I love it, and it does work.

And we've been walking to the store & back on those "off" days. It's 1.4 miles there & back.

yeah look, basically, if you feel your not exercising enough (who knows! you might be doing plenty!), just make you session more intense.

If you post up what you do each week, i'm sure we can help you out for sure!
