Seems impossible right now!

Never haha. Now? 4-5 days a week. Although my diet could be better, that would probably help.... but I love food!

I wish I could get more in, but it's hard!! I used to be able to wake up early, but I've lost complete motivation after having two kids. I'm just exhausted and would rather sleep in during the AM or veg out at night. Priorities. :silly: pui on "How many days a week do you need to work out to get into shape?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-a-week-do-you-need-to-work-out-to-get-into-shape#post-1584461 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:43:19 +0000 pui 1584461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think it depends on your individual fitness goals. If you want to be a fitness model, you'll need to be at the gym 6 days a week lifting heavy and eating clean 95% of the time. If you just want to be healthy and look good, 3 days a week lifting heavy + cardio and eating well most of the time should do fine. I'd also say the way you eat matters more than your time at the gym. Think about it, an hour 6 days a week at the gym is only 10% of your week. How you are fuelling yourself is that other 90% contribution to your overall health.

But, very time I've been out of shape and needed to lose some pounds and tone up? I've done 7d/w but could probably have only done 5. hotchildinthecity on "How many days a week do you need to work out to get into shape?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-a-week-do-you-need-to-work-out-to-get-into-shape#post-1584426 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:24:42 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1584426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 4-5 days a week.

Which is why I haven't been in great shape for the last 7 years.... ugh...

I mean, serious cardio or running outdoors... not like, pushing a stroller (haha my usual method of "working up a sweat). How many days a week do you need to work out to get into shape?
