1. The heart needs 20 minutes, (minimum), at 60% to 80% range of maximum allowed is order to get the benefit of a cardio-vascular workout. That 220 minus one age and times 60 or 80%.
2.If your on a treadmill and you having trouble talking to another person in terms of breathing, you are doing too much. I was much younger.
3. Lifting weights to strenghtened the bones.
4. Studies have shown that exercise will help you to live longer!!!


Use it or lose it.
I'm glad exercise has all those extra benefits. I exercise 4 to 5 times a week for the romantic benefits.As you said ,use it or lose it, that's what you were referring to, right
