London, Europe Brief News – Although the NHS recommends doing sports each day, it doesn’t mean going for a 5km run or an intense high-intensity workout every single day.
Personal trainer and director of KMAK Fitness, Kunal Makwana, said: “Ideally you should try to train three to four times a week. If you can do a bit more, then great. However, I don’t think you need any more than that just because you need to spend time on recovery.”
You can also spread sports evenly throughout the week to avoid overdoing any vigorous activity and ensure you do not injure yourself while exercising.
It’s a common misconception that you should exercise for long periods of time if you want to get fit. However, working out for too long can lead to fatigue, which may result in injury if you are too tired to perform an exercise with the correct form or equipment.
“Workouts should be no more than 90 minutes,” Makwana advises.
“Ideally, 60 to 90 minutes is okay if you’re a busy professional. The goal should be to get in and out rather than spending two to three hours, which is not going to be productive for anyone in general, especially if you are busy.”
