By doing aerobics 20 min. a day, am I wasting my time?


Question:
Would it be more adventageous to do longer workouts, fewer times a week?

Answers:
CRANK IT UP!! 20 min a day is crap. Step it up a bit, go atleast 45 min of non stop cardio work outs. Just 3 days a week will get u in shape.

Other Answers:
no and if anyone says yes, dont listen to them. any amount of u working ur body is good.

No, you are burning those calories! NO!!


3-4 times a week is enough.


depends what your trying to accomplish

I don't think that's wasting time. no. U are excersizung.


20 minutes a day is a bit excessive unless you alternate between high and lower impact aerobics.


you aren't wasting your time and I think you shouldn't give it up.

well you might want to do aerobic one day and another form of exercise another day, like anaerobic. you know, switch it off so you work your body in diff ways You should do 30 minutes a day five times a week.


No, any exercise you do is advantageous. 40 minutes a day would be better, but experts say that you can break that up in ten minute intervals and it is just as effective, just as long as you are raising your heart rate.


no. why is 20 min. of aerobics taking time from you saving the world or something? it's actually good that you have your mind set on that, instead of bad things. besides it's your body and you wanna look good.

You're not wasting your time, but it WOULD be better to do more exercise less frequently. A major part of cardiovascular exercise is the length of time that you're working your heart. It has been shown that your workout should be at the strenuous level for more than twenty minutes, for maximum benefit. So first you warm up, then you work out HARD for at least twenty minutes, then you cool down. Total time, about forty minutes. Any kind of movement or exercises is good, and I think the criteria with aerobics is getting your heart-rate up beyond a certain point. If you are reaching that target rate then you are doing OK and you are certainly better off than most people by doing 20 minutes a day, so keep on doing what you are doing and you will see results. And doing it everyday is also a very positive and motivating experience and it will help you to feel better all around! Rock On !


No you're not, any amount of exercise is a good thing. The more you do them the better you'll get and you may be increasing that 20 minutes a day in no time. Good for you.


No you are not wasting your time. keep it up, and eventually you'll be doing more without even thinking about it. I don't suggest skipping days.it's better to be in the habit of moving daily, then you can add a few minutes at a time..working up to 45-60 minutes a day. This is healthy. Our bodies are built to move regularly. You're creating a great habit!! Keep it up!!

It would be better to do longer workouts, fewer times a week (FOR THE PURPOSE OF LOSING WEIGHT). I f you're just working out to be healthy, YOU GO GIRL! But to lose weight ad to get you heart rate up you really need more than 20 mins. Maybe a few minutes of warmup (like 3-5) and then a high momentum workout, and then some cool out stretches would work better. But 20 mins is great just to do. Remember you also need to change it up every now and again so your body does 'nt get used to the workout, then it is almost useless.


no
