RE: howm much exercise

gizmonel said: "Hello everyone, for the past 2 weeks i have been doing two 15 minute biking workouts a day 7 days a week. just today i heard that you should only workout 5 or 6 days, is this correct. but working out 7 days will benefit you too right. i plan on moving up to 30 minutes each session gradually. i am confused guys, please help i am hooked on the 7 days though"

Darren said: "Hi Nelson, If the exercise is very strenuous, then you'll need a rest at some point to recover. But let's face it, early on the main thing is just to do it. The fact you've done 15 minutes a day for 7 days is a good indicator that you're forming a habit. A surprise to me was when I heard that a habit forms in 3 weeks of repetitive behavior. So if you force yourself to work out for a month, you'll basically be hooked. I have to admit I'm addicted to exercise now. I can't imagine not doing after a year."
