Research from the University of Wyoming has said that it takes 5 hours of exercise each week to make any real body composition resuls. In a survery of around 1,000 people they concluded that people were unhappy with how they look or feel if they worked out less then 5 hours a week. Exact opposite for those that workout more then 5 hours. They tend to feel happier and more content with the way they look and feel.
In another reasearch that was basic about people who were gaining weight and those who were losing. It was found that the ones who were gaining averaged less then 20 min a day exercising. The ones who were losing were exercising an average of 80 min a day.
Because of that reasearch you should look to get to around 5 hours a exercise a week. That may seem like a lot to some of you and may seem like little to others. Remember this, Americans spend an average of 28 hours a week watching TV. 28? Are you joking? No, this is true and kinda sad.
No matter what you do for work, play etc. Your demanding schedule can always make time for exercise. I’ve seen it done in very busy peoples lives, business owners, CEO’s, Professional athletes, and a mom of 7! It can be done you just need to demand it out of yourself. It’s a choice, a mindset. If you want to exercise you will.
Just make sure you make EVERY workout count and 5 hours is plenty. When done correctly!
