How much exercise do we need? An Infographic

30 October, 2013 by Giselle Rochford 6 Comments

Hey There! πŸ˜€
Happy Wednesday!

Today I want to talk about a topic that I’ve been seeing a lot recently. Phrases like over and under training have been floating around in countless articles and blog posts it got me thinking…

How much exercise do we need?

I try to exercise whenever my schedule permits. I add gym and running time into my schedule and try my best to follow through.
I know a lot of people also allot gym time this way but I’ve got a question for you:

How much exercise to you add to your schedule every week?

Do you workout once a week and be done with it? Do you workout for an hour and a half everyday except Sundays?
What guidelines do you follow for how often, how long or how much you exercise?
I never looked at it that way. I just tried to get to the gym whenever I had time and the more often the better! πŸ˜‰

So I went searching for some stats on how much exercise we need and found this article by the American College of Sport Medicine.
It’s goes a little more in-depth into the quality and quantity of exercise that we need, but today’s workout Wednesday Infographic covers a few of the important topics.

Enjoy!

      Good catch! For vigorous dancing I would say hip hop or dancehall…but you know that already πŸ˜‰ lol

    There may be too little fitness in our lives. But there can also be too much exercise. And I don’t even know what’s worse. I have a few friends fitness fanatics who literally live in the gym. And I don’t think it’s healthy.
    Finding a balance and doing the activity you enjoy is the best solution for a healthy lifestyle.
