How much exercise do we need? An Infographic

30 October, 2013 by Giselle Rochford 17 Comments

Hey There! 😀
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! 😉

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 😉 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.

    Finally someone calls out the ’30-minutes-5x-week’ myth! My 3am treadmill sprints count as cardio, right?

    This is a good reminder to think about how much exercise I’m really getting each week. It’s so easy to get caught up in life and let it slide. Gotta find that balance! Thanks for the post!

    With difficulty labels for each level, players can choose their challenge and set personal goals to beat harder stages.
