Minimum for cardio?
Hey all,
I'm getting back into an exercise schedule, and I've found that I do really well with running (treadmill) for 15 mins and then switching to the ergometer (rowing machine) for another 10 mins, usually 3 times a week.
I know this is only 25 minutes total, but it feels good to me, and I don't know how useful it is to go above and beyond this, other than to build endurance. Most people say to do 30 mins of exercise 3-5 times a week (at least), but does this mean I am "under the minimum?" Should I push it up to 30 mins, and try to go every day?
I like going MWF for a short time, and I will start adding weights after my cardio. But if it's not going to help me in the long run, I'd like some advice... thanks!
