I only do about 20-30 minutes a day, and make sure its an intense work out in cardio, and Im a size 3 in juniors, I am short though so...every body is different, its more important that you feel great after a work out even if you only do 15-20 minutes a day......hmmm...and about 3 times a week, or 4 :) depending on how busy you areHealth Question & Answer
If you are just beginning a cardio exercise program, start with 5 minutes of low-to-moderate activity. As a beginner to cardio exercise, your goal is to work your way up to a moderate-to-vigorous level that increases your breathing and heart rate. It should feel somewhat difficult to you, but not painful.
# Once you reach that goal and feel your heart rate and breathing increase, you can divide your exercise into sessions of no less than 10 minutes at a time, as long as they add up to a total of at least 30 minutes on most or all days of the week.
# Doing less than 10 minutes at a time won't give you the desired cardiovascular and respiratory system benefits you are looking for.
# When you can safely and comfortably do 30 minutes of moderate cardio exercise at one time, you can add more time--or try more than one exercise during the same session.
For example, you could take a walk, and then go swimming. Health Question & Answer
