This is the question that I always ask myself. I usually exercise when I don’t feel tired anymore. So I take alternate days to exercise (swim).

I think it depends on person to person how much he should work out in a week.But I think you are right and average person should work out atleast 3 times a week.

I think a lot of this depends on your personal schedule. But you can always get in a home or bodyweight workout as well!

before, i only trained 3 x a week, but my body seems to be reacting well to this frequency. but now (10 years after) 3 x a week seems to be no longer the optimal frequency for my body… man… age is just a strong factor

actually tolerance to exercise is also something that the body gets better at, so that the more years you exercise the quicker your recovery will be

when starting out, for sure, you can overdo it so easily and it may take a week to recover or you are overtraining, always remember recovering is the most important thing,and nutrition is a part of that

It depends a lot on your workout intensity and what muscle groups you work in each exercise. For most people, I would say about 4 days a week is optimal, but this is not a scientific answer. It really depends on your personal approach and your goals. Someone trying to build muscle will have a different style than someone who is just looking to shed a few pounds, for example.

I think 4 days a week of formal workout time is a good goal to aim for. Anything less and it feels like you aren’t making any progress. Of course it depends on your starting point, but still even a couch potato should be able to workout 4 times a week.

The hardest part is finding the time to get the workouts in.

Hey.. when i get tired then i go for exercise and i enjoy…

3 times every is for beginning i guess and i depends on what training that you do…for people who not use to train before,they should start with walk first and slowly upgrade to jogging…that’s what i use to do…

Well, I’d say the more the better, but it isn’t really that easy. It depends on a lot of factors: your age, the intensity of the training and the type of the training.

This is a question many people face. I think it depends on the person and how they feel. Bringing variety to your daily training can help alot. Swim one day instead of doing weights.

I can’t train as much as I would like to. Seems like I am always nursing an injury or my body is still worn down from a previous workout. Getting older sucks!

The bottom line is that the number of days someone should train depends on their goals, genetics, and lifestyle. This is why it’s so important for people to track their progress!

I think the general consensus is that even if we do figure out the optimum number of workouts per week, in the real world circumstances change every week. We get sick, we get tired, we get invited out for dinner or we have to work overtime. All these things come into play. But having said that, I would say the bare minimum is 2, and the absolute maximum is 6 (and I would probably opt for 2 rather than six and just focus on compound all-body exercises).

I think you have a good point…you should choose a training program that fits your abilities. Personally, I always like to use the pull/push program to train. This way I was able to access all of my muscles at least twice a week, yet I gave my muscles time to recuperate.

Yeah…no point using other peoples methods or programs because it might or might not fit you. Everyone’s body is different and thus, reacts in a different way.

I have 4 trainings a week and it’s enought for me, cause in this case I have a few spare days for my rest

I would say about 4 days a week is optimal, but this is not a scientific answer. It really depends on your personal approach and your goals.

Good question. How often should you train? One of the most basic questions in weight training is “how many times a week should I train for best results?”

EVERYBODY has wondered this at some point in their training career, from the complete beginner to the most advanced professional. At this point, most instructors or training manuals will go right to the stock response of “train each body part twice a week” or something to that effect. It’s easy to believe that this is the best answer because that generally works okay for most people. It’s a safe answer.But it’s not the BEST answer. Learning what IS the best answer will help you cast out preconceived notions and determine what REALLY works best for your body.

Always listen to your body. It will tell you when to stop, and when to pursue. Over training is one of the biggest factors that leads to poor results and injury. More is not always better.

I would train 3-4 times a week plus 1 cardio workout. DO NOT OVERTRAIN. This is very important but some people still don’t listen.

It depends on your previous experience. If your just starting out I’d say 2-3 times a week, but if your already ripped then 3-5 times a week.

For beginners I’d suggest to start 3 times per week and move up from there. Any additional workouts will just help you lose more weight.

HST and three times a week have got me the best results and still going up. I have tried 4-5 even 6 times a week workouts, but then the injuries started. HST has helped there alot, and now I don’t spend that much time at the gym anymore. Cardio I do 2-3 times a week.

I completely agree, sometimes I feel that I have found what seems to be the perfect routine but somehow after a while it starts to take no effect. I think as usual a good mix of routines will help find the ideal one.

Determining the amount of days to train all depends upon your numbers. If your strength is increasing, your days are fine. If you hit a plateau, increase rest days. It is that simple. Go by your numbers, and not the advice of others.

Jim O’Connor - Wellness Word Newsletter

Hello, I started training before 4 days, and this article is really helpful for me. Thanks for reading.

I think it depends on the person. I like to work out each muscle group once a week (about 3-4 times a week in total) but my friend works out every muscle group every day. If I did that I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed in the morning.

When it comes to running though I feel like I really have to do it every day because if I dont do it, I’m afraid I wont the next day either and then I’ll spiral out of control.

it depend on person, i believe 3 sessions per week it’s ok

A few words of advice: Whatever routine you choose, make sure that you stretch before and after. I spent 10 years body building and laughed at warm-up and warm-down routines. Now at the age of 41 I have the neck of a 60 year old in terms of cervical disc wear and tear and bone spurs. My father, who never worked out, got the same conditions at around 55. Moral of the story?: we’re not meant to have big, tight muscles that compress the spine, so take some measures to decompress yours every once in a while.

thank you for sharing

Such a great article, Thanks for sharing buddy
Keep up the good work.

Thanks! Very valuable information for training schedules. I just started a blog in search of the best anxiety treatments and since a lot of people who suffer from anxiety also do body building, this will be very helpful! Thanks again

It really depends on many things especially periodization, athletes level of fitness, food intake etc. People need to stop thinking from session to session but weekly blocks sometimes even monthly slots instead. There is some good reading of this topic on mesomorphis forum but it may be too advanced for some people.

But i guess not a lot people know what they are doing, they just do how much they feel like is good and hope to get stronger next time. It just doesn’t work like that.

But another perspective many Olympic lifters train 5-7 days a week nearly twice a day so are they overtraining?

I find that I’m all or nothing. When I’m on a roll I workout 6+ times a week. But if I skip 2 days the chances of me skipping a 3rd is high. It’s tough getting the right routine!

I find that consistency and variety is the answer for me. Doing a variety of athletic activities and keeping my body guessing is the best answer for positive results.

Thanks for the link to that article, it’s pretty interesting. I think you always have to factor in your lifestyle and find out what works best for you. Plus you have to think about what kind of results you want - more muscle or less fat and go from there.

It’s always a personal thing, I found three times a week works best for me. It’s quite easy to overtrain without knowing it.

Working out at the gym 3 times a week and jogging 2 - 3 times a week has worked for me. Results have been good and no fear of overtraining in sight.

Training is so personal. If you have the genetic make up of Lance Armstrong you probably don’t need to train nearly as much as someone else. The real key to training is to try a routine for an extended period of time and see how you feel. Keep in mind it takes at least two weeks for the body to feel the impacts of training. Also, what are you training for? This is almost just as important as the amount of training required. Are you training for a marathon, a bike race, to lose weight, to gain muscle?

I am 23 years old now. But I guess I am just to lazy to do
exercise.Usually I will run twice per week. But if there are
something else I can do,I will not insist on trainning.I am not sure Whether I only do exercise when I am bored.

Here is simple way to determine how much rest your body needs.

After a workout, keep track of soreness. Note which body part is sore and long it take for it to fully recover.

This way you can figure out your own recoverability rates.

Based on that information you can plan routines.

It is true but also, I believe a lot of people are too worried about overtraining and therefore, dont train enough or with enough intensity. Thats not what many people want to hear but is true nevertheless.

Unless you are eating poorly and not getting enough rest or train 5-6 days a week or twice a day or starting out, it is actually quite hard to overtrain. soreness is not an indicator of overtraining. That is just DOMS. That stands for delayed onset muscle soreness. It happens when you are not used to training that way or you have recently changed your program.

Hi, I just want to know is, the use of supplements good or Not. Should I take them with exercise, but I do not want to become a wrestler. Please reply me.

The professional trainers always say there is a need for rest. This is where your muscles have time to repair and grow. Constant workouts doesn’t allow them this time. So I would say a days rest between workouts would be recommended. But then what do I know, I’m currently on a 60 challenge to lose 30 pounds!

Great post. I have to agree — the same routines aren’t best for everyone. Different individuals have different needs.

Three times a week is enough for everybody.

Those that really started to work out hard in the 80s and continued through the rest of the their lives are showing this now…

Doctors here in the UK are reporting a marked upturn in hip replacements for those in their 40s…

Oh, long time no practics, since i have been working now.
my health is getting more and more bad. From now on, i should practise every morning.

How many times a week should you train? I have herd this debated in the gym time and time again.Lets face there are alot of variables when it comes to this question,frst and for most what kind of recovery ability do you have,I have some people thrive on 5 and 6 day programs,while others end up severly overtrained.In the end you have to find what works best for you,your own body and what type of time do you have to train,and of course age and gender(I find women seem to be able to recover from intense workouts very quickly on the average. but it is body specific.

One thing I have found is that the more intensely you can train, the less often you can train. So if you’re only doing 20-30 minutes of walking per day, you can do that every day.

Those are some excellent questions. I started a velocity/speed training two days ago and I still feel sore from it. I was in shape before I started but it just kicked my butt! My trainer said to take three days off to recooperate but then hit it strong again tomorrow night! I think the time you should rest depends on each person and how your body reacts to the work out you’ve just performed. Let your body tell you what to do! Great post! -M

I go to the gym for weight training once a week, weekends.
But i do cardio workout every morning weekdays. I jog before head shower.
Good workout routine for everyone.

Personally I’ve done quite a lot of training and I’ve come to the conclusion that rest is just as important as the workout. I’ve seen a lot of other athletes not taking enough rest and as a result get injured or don’t preform at their top. Really I think you should see how your body feels and then you have to make a judgment call after that, are you really needing a rest or are you just trying to get out of trying to do a workout - that sort of question you need to ask your self when you’re tired or have some minor injury.

I usually work out 3 days a week and that works for me. I go longer when I am hooked up to oxygen. It seems to give me more stamina to work out harder and longer.

I think more often = more strenght yoou will have

Knowing how much to work out will really depend on your workout goals. If your goal is to lose weight than working out 5 to 6 days a week may be appropriate. However if you plan to try and gain weight over training can be terribly counter productive.

Training 3 to 4 days a week and taking an appropriate amount of rest days is essential for maximum weight gain. I see guys making this mistake all the time. Someone wants to gain 20 pounds of muscle and trains 5 to 6 days a week only to find out that he’s actually loosing weight…

the most discouraging thing about working out is that if you stop doing it, you lose all that you have gained :/
-jack

I go to the gym about 4/5 times a week. I do an hour of cycling about 2/3 a week and the rest of the week I “pump iron”.

helpful post — it really does depend person to person though!

I think 4 times a week as it gives your body time to rest a little in between sessions

Great post…I find that I am working out (resistance training) 3-4 times a week these days, however it is used to compliment my Karate/BJJ classes (4 times a week). I am pushing myself a lot harder at the gym since competing because of the cause and effect principle. The better my workouts the better my performance (this goes really for any sport)

Thanks for taking a moderate approach to the question of how often. I recently went through a 12 week program where I did cardiovascular one day and upper and lower body on alternate days. This worked really well for me and I didn’t get too bored. I like this site and will be looking for other post.

I think training should be done when your body tells you when it’s OK to. That is, if you have learned to listen to it.

Yes, you really do have to find out what’s right for you. It seems that the frequency of training issue is directly related to the intensity of effort: The higher the intensity, the less often you CAN train.

The idea is striking the correct balance between stimulation of growth and adequate time for the muscles to recover.

It is depend on your work schedule and activities that you have. We have different routines everyday and it is up to if you can have your work out for that day.

Thanks! Very valuable information for training schedules. I just started a blog in search of the best anxiety treatments and since a lot of people who suffer from anxiety also do body building, this will be very helpful! Thanks again

I train 3 times a week, Monday Wednesday and Friday 1 to 2 hours each of these days. Also diet is very important if not the most important. It’s useless to go to the gym and then gulp on fat, does not make sense. Jump on a treadmill or go to your local highschool running track and start the real work.

If I run a lot, how many days a week should I left weights in addition to the running?

That’s really true. I used to follow the “3 times in a week” advice and realized that it doesn’t work for me. Those are really general. If I want to build my muscles quickly and effectively, I will usually get a personal trainer. It might be expensive (around $200 per hour), but I think it will be effective because they are the professionals.

getting a personal trainer is a waste of money. you can get the same knowledge by visiting authority sites, such as bodybuilding.com. And most personal trainers are a joke, they merely have a ACE cert which is an easy paper cert anyone can get.

I guess if you really need someone to motivate you, then go ahead, get a PT, otherwise get off your lazy ass and motivate yourself.

The genetic and muscle condition could be one of the first things that the personal trainer must think prior to define the workout routines. Maybe the schools of personal trainers are no good enough.

I think if you can lift every day if you vary between upper and lower body each day. Never work the same muscles without enough healing time.

Great post - I think one of the worst things gyms have brought to the general public is the ability to overtrain without realizing it. There is a reason to allow your muscles to recover and heal from a workout. Waiting until this recovery comes about is the key to training effectively. Thanks for bringing this out!

I use running in the morning which is a simple exercise with great results. Most people prefer this

Thanks for the Nick Nilsson article. I’d always considered physical type when putting together training schedules, but never really thought about adjusting them to accommodate occupation and other lifestyle factors.

I agree you need to experiment with the amount of times you train per week to find out what works best for you as we are all different. There is also the question about what time of day we should train, this is one that has been debated quite a bit. I think the same goes for this one to, experiment and see what works best.

I agree…every person are unique so each physical fitness training should also be designed just for them. It is same thing with fitness equipment. Each fitness equipment is designed for every person.

Robyno is absolutely correct, although there are standards for working out - for example, the number of times and length of time per workout - it’s important to listen to your body. Some can workout more per week than others.

There are really so many factors that work together on out body:

Some of the factors to consider while you train are:

level of stress
daily routine
lifestyle adopted
mental chain of thoughts
exercise schedule
food and nutrition intake

Depending on the workout…. you could train 1-7 days per week and still get results.

Personal Trainer Leicester

In response to Jack’s comment - a personal trainer is a great idea, but make sure you get references from people you know and their current clients. You need to do your due diligence to make sure your trainer knows his stuff.

I wish I had read something like this when I was young! I used to work out 2.5 hours, 6 days a week and I wondered why I didn’t gain significant muscle/weight. My body seemed to get weaker. Thanks for writing this article.

I have found what works best for me is working out 5 times a week. I am currently doing P90X and am 2 months into the program. When I workout 6 days a week it is a bit much and I get a little overwhelmed with lack of time and balance. I also seem to too fatiqued if I keep up 6 days a week.

Nice article, thank you.
Please keep on blogging.

Best regards.

what i do is simple i work out on each part once

Thanks for the article. I try to train three times a week.. but I do a lot of different training (free weights, kettlebells, bodyweight), besides that I also do Mixed Martial Arts training so I don’t always have the time to go to the gym.

Training and am wondering how often should i train, how many rest days should… weight training every other…weight training and see

I will gave a advice to pregnant woman that plz eat coconut and milk if you wanted a healthy child

For me 4-5 days a week is good. Much more than that and I get fatigued. I am not counting playing basketball or tennis on weekends, but in the gym workouts. I also notice that when I go on vacations and maybe do a couple of days of bodyweight workouts or whatever I have time for, when I return to the gym I have some of my best workouts ever. Rest and recovery are a very important thing. Overtraining can really slow down progress.

Nice article, thanks.
I am looking forward to read your next great article.

Best regards.

this has always been a problem with me

over the years, i eventually kept pushing on and found a routine.

remember, just keep at it and understand your body

Never, but i really should!

can u tell me is there any treatment for cancer patient

I am a jogger and I never run two days in a row because you can do long term damage to your knees and ankles. One of my friends just had to have double knee replacement surgery and he used to run everyday.

Very good article, nice piece of information, I really like it.

When I was younger I could train 4 times a week ,but as I got older 2 times a week is about right for me as recovery takes longer the older you get.

I used to train everyday, but with my new job unfortunately i don’t get much time and some times can only get in one or two sessions a week. Infact i am considering cancelling my membership and pay on a adhoc basis

Doctors say that you shouldn’t wait more than 48 hours between training sessions. I think it all depends on your training objectives, your resistance and the kind of training you do.

It does depend on your goals but for more “normal” people… people that just want to get in great shape and look good 2 to 3 days a week is plenty.

If you are a bodybuilder than the whole game changes.

Such a great and nice article. Thanks for sharing with us about this and I agree with your points. Nice blog and useful for all the readers.

3 days a week is just fine. Less is not efficient, more can harm your health.

I think you should train moderately and not overdo it. There have been instances where people have lost it by training all the time.

On the whole issue of training and how often one should train you should consider what kind of goals you have and what you are striving for in the future. Its all about routine and yes the simplest is 3 days a week day of rest in between. There is also 2 days on 1 day off continuous. Also there is the cardio one day and weights the next. It all is about your preferences and what your body can currently handle. Thanks.

As for me.. I don’t have a so called rest day. If ever i forgot to work out for a day because of my tight schedule. I would make it a point the following day to work out with double the time. Stopping can really make you lose motivation to continue esp if you stopped for a long time.

I think it depends on the person and how they feel. Bringing variety to your daily training can help alot. Swim one day instead of doing weights.

I agree you need to experiment with the amount of times you train per week to find out what works best for you as we are all different. There is also the question about what time of day we should train, this is one that has been debated quite a bit. I think the same goes for this one to, experiment and see what works best.

great article, thanks…

thank you very good

it depend on person, i believe 3 sessions per week it’s ok

Lately I’ve been having 7 rest days a week… but when I used to train regularly, I had only 1 rest day. God was I in shape back then!

a number of my clients use sports masaage treatments to help speed-up the recovery time, works well for them.

Hello, I started training before 4 days, and this article is really helpful for me. Thanks for reading.

Nice article, thanks.
I am looking forward to read your next great article.

Best regards……..

I’m lucky if I get in even 1 day of actually working out. I rely alot on walking and eating right to at least keep the body from expanding.

There is no particular time stating when to do workouts, better to do in early morning or at evenings.

I think it depends on person to person and how each ones body reacts for the workouts.

Thanks for the article.

I agree with you. The time for exercise that we have to spare, varies from one person to another person. It would be better to take suggestions from an expert in this field.

This information in this blog is very useful to me. I have learned some tips after reading this site. Really thanks to the owner of this blog.

Hey there !!! I have been a trainer for 16 years and along the way i have seen many things come and go. I have seen fad diets com and go and alot of my clients weight. I just dpends on the goal of the person as a fitness pro you cater workouts for each person.

Part of getting physically fit is increasing endurance over time. This could apply to each training session, or the number of performance sessions you schedule each week. Of course, it is always good to take a break, too, and give your body a chance to rest so that it can go further when you resume your fitness routine.

I agree with Chris, as I´ve gotten older I need more rest days between workouts in order to keep my stamina. On those days a light walk is best.

Every weight loss program
works differently for
everyone. So it all depends,
but this is a pretty good list.

Nice post, according to me 3-4 days a week is fine. Less is not efficient, more can harm your health.

The Acai Berry

With 15 times the antioxidants of grapes and twice the antioxidants of blueberries, the Brazilian Acai berry (AH-sci-EE) is considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth. With the symmetry of a grape and the size of a giant blueberry, the Acai fruit tastes a bit like wild raspberry with a hint of grape. Most people have trouble putting their finger on the taste because it’s so different.

Great post nice page.

I’m too lazy to train for more than 3 times per week.And if i do so - It’s too hard to get up in the morning sp.

Over training is very common. I recommended that massages be incorporated into every fitness regimen.

During intense training weeks I go 5 times. 3 times I do mainly cardio. 2 times I do mainly weights.. Works for me.

I think it depends on person to person how much he should work out in a week.3 days a week is just fine.

The recommended frequency to train each week for sufficient body adaptations to occur is 2-3 times. Bodybuilders on the other hand are able to train 4-5 times or more due to the types of supplements they use as well as split routines which ensure appropriate rest for each major muscle group.

Best thing to do is to get a gym buddy so you have someone to go with, then you won’t feel bored, and there’s always the extra motivation!

I try to do an hour workout every day. It is not very intense, which is why I do it daily, and consists of mainly weights and sit-ups (I can’t do push ups, I get chest pains)

Helps keep the beer belly at bay.

Yeah i workout or run mostly, weekdays and break on the weekends.

You should have a good workout schedule because you should not overwork your body too much it might cause you some pain. You should also consult a gym Instructor about your workout schedule

Hi
I trying to visit gym every day but I have problems with eating,one of them i am always want to eat chocolate :(((

The fact is that different people do better under different routines. I believe that in the end you have to experiment and learn what works best for you and your situation.

Going to gym for work out every day is good but see your doctor first.

At least once a week, at most 5 times a week, or you risk getting overtrained and lose muscle. Also, SPAM

i have started weight training recently.. now i am doing exercise 4 days in a week.. is that good or bad ??

4 days in a week is good.. but take massage from experts and follow your diet chart. taking massage is very important, because it relaxes your muscles..

Too much training can be bad for you. It depends a lot with what you want to do, get lean or get bulky. For losing weight more training is necessary, especially cardio. For gaining mass, only free weights and no more than 3 sessions a week.

I would agree with above one

Thanks for the blog.

Thanks for sharing, nice blogpost

I usaly train 3 days a week sometimes it could go up to 5 days a week, depends on my mood.

As practically everyone in the world knows, Arnold Schwarzenneger was (probably still is) and avid body builder.

Before he became a movie star and politician, Arnold ran weight lifting seminars that were very well attended.

On one such occasion, an older person, 72 years of age, asked Arnold during class how often he, the older gentleman, should lift for maximum effect.

Arnold surprised everyone in the room by saying that the older man should lift as often and as vigorously as the younger men.

Frankly, I don’t believe that.

For example, when George Bush (the younger) was President of the US, he liked jogging very much. However, he didn’t do enough warm-ups one day, and just jogging severely sprained his left knee.

At that point, his personal physician told the President to “act his age,” and to start riding a bicycle instead.

President Bush did tha,t with the result that he didn’t hurt himself, even if he hadn’t warmed up properly, which is always kind of tricky to know when one is warm enough to proceed. (When does one know that one is warmed up? Seems like a simple question with a very complex answer that I don’t have.)

So, the additional question I have, after this long intro is, “Was Arnold right?”

I can’t believe that Arnold was being intentionally cruel. But then, I can’t imagine that Arnold’s advice was good for the older man. (Incidentally, the older fellow didn’t follow the advice. To him, the advice was outside the boundary of common sense.

What do you think?

[…] how often should you train? – there are different variations on this question, but it seems that a lot of us wonder how often we should train, how many days of rest we should have between workouts, etc… […]

I would workout weight train 3 times per week, and if you are really gung ho, you can also add 3 cardio sessions to keep the fat off.

I mix it up, sometimes 3 times a week, sometimes 4 times. It really depends.

I found that resistance training on an alternating schedule worked well and the ‘in between’ days I would do additional cardio work outs. The higher level of activity and calorie burn kept my metabolism level higher for toning and weight loss without muscle burn out -which also gave the muscle tissue time to break down and rebuild. Got to live for the gym!

I try to work out 5 days a week but it’s nothing hardcore! I need to incorporate more weight training.. If you are looking for a super intense workout I suggest you check out P90X home fitness program. Only if you are willing to put in the work though! I found this Review P90X site if you are interested.

There are various Physical Fitness Exercises that you can choose from. You can try Resistance Training to help create a lean and toned body, Aerobic Exercises to elevate your heart rate over a sustainable period of time, and Stretching to extend your limbs and muscles to their full extent.

You definitely need at least 2 rest days a week - your essentially tearing the muscle when your working out, so its logical that it needs to repair itself!

Even 30 minutes of weight-lifting a day is enough to greatly increase muscle mass and cut down on some of that baby fat (or other fat, :)).

You’re right. I’ve tried anything from 3 to 6 days a week. It depends on your fitness levels, your goals, nutrition. However I would say 3 times is the minimum, would you agree? Thanks for the article!

I weight train 3 days on 1 day off. I try to do cardio 5 days a week. Really enjoyed reading everyone’s comments. Keep up the training !

Great article, i totaly agree with you, it absolutley is down to the individual because certain people may benefit from many workouts a week where-as people like me get much better muscle gains from just 3 workouts in a week.

I started training with the first 7 days, I want to get a big muscle, what I to do?

I agree with Eddie and Milenko! Very useful tips, by the way!

Good one. The reviews are very interesting. Overall 5*

Pretty useful tips you give in this article. You should blog more about muscles and that stuff!

I like this post - good stuff! I always do skiing and if you go fast, you need some muscles.

I think a lot of this depends on your personal schedule. But you can always get in a home thnx for sharing and more important this site very nice for fitness

I used to train 4-5 days a week using different routines. Also I always ran 15 before training and 15 min after training that helped me lose some weight and also losed some belly fat. Thanks for the article

You can loose weight when you take health food and timely diet. And also take 5 ltrs of water per day

I feel Hip Hop dancing should be included in the fitness training. Am a hip hop dance trainer, NYC
