Below are three key questions you need to know the answer to, if you’re interested in a fitness routine that you can actually use and benefit from. I will give you those questions, and then offer analysis on the correct answer.

1. When I do my fitness workout I:
a) I do my exercise routines at a slow leisurely pace
b) I do my fitness routine at such a level and gasping and panting breath
c) I do my fitness programs at the level where I can only just just hold a conversation

The right answer here is C. During the fitness program session it is more beneficial to raise the rate at which your heart and lungs are working to the level you can only just talk to somebody. You need to stress your body enough so that it has to adapt to more physical stress than it used to in order to get fitter.

But you don’t want to be working out to the point you could collapse from lack of oxygen. Or working out at such a leisurely pace your body doesn’t have to compensate for Any extra physical stress.but

2. When deciding how many fitness workouts a week I:
a) I do fitness exercises when I feel like it
b) I do a fitness routine at least twice a week
c) I do fitness workouts every day

The right answer is B. Recent studies indicate, that while the accepted frequency is usually 3 to 5 times a week, you can gain nearly as much benefit from little as two days a week.

Generally it’s better to do no more than five days a week maximum, because your body repairs itself and adapts to the physical stress of your exercise routines while you’re resting. So if you don’t have enough days off from your exercise and fitness workouts your body won’t recover.

3. If I don’t incorporate some high intensity exercises into my fitness routine my:
a) Metabolic resting rate or the rate at which I burn calories we remain the same
b) My metabolic resting rate were slow down 
c) The rate at which I burn calories while resting will speed up

The right answer is C. Exercise routines performed at a high enough intensity will not only burn more calories or fat during the period of exercise, but will also cause your resting rate metabolism to speed up. This means that you will use more energy even while resting, helping you to avoid ‘middle aged spread’, and help you maintain a good level of fitness over 40.
