Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between allergies and the common cold. There are more than a hundred strains of cold viruses. Each tends to become widespread at certain times of the year, which is why you may mistake a cold for a seasonal allergy.
Q: How often should I work out? A: The amount of exercise you need depends on the type of lifestyle you want to maintain. For beginners, most experts recommend at least 20 minutes of exercise three times a week. These 20 minutes can be a combination of four 5-minute sessions of exercise, two 10-minute sessions or 20 continuous minutes. Just doing something is better than no exercise at all.
When training to significantly strengthen your muscles, you should only be lifting weights three to four days per week, focusing on a different muscle group during every workout. Your aerobic exercise should be minimal, not much more than a comfortable walk for 20 to 30 minutes, one to three days per week. Certainly, you can walk on the treadmill at the gym or around your neighborhood. Ultimately, you only need to go to the gym three to four days per week to develop maximum strength.
