I am confused about the exercise part of the plan. Is it 150 mins aerobic exercise plus 2 strength sessions each week. Or is it 150 mins of total exercise, as in a mixture of strength and aerobic. Would 3 aerobic sessions plus 2 pilates sessions a week, all of 30 mins each, be adequate? Thanks

Hi Madflo,

It's 150mins aerobic exercise plus 2 sessions of strength exercises.

If you're not used to exercise, then 3 aerobic plus 2 pilates would be great, with the aim of increasing the aerobic exercise to 5 sessions /week.

Hope this helps, good luck

Hi Madflo,

It's not as bad as it sounds, because the aerobic exercise can just be walking (not strolling ) take it easy and build up gradually. There's no point going hell for leather and hurting yourself

Have fun

Thanks 24FITCLUB. I will take that advice on board when planning my weeks activities/ food ☺

You don't have to do the full quota from day one, build up to it sustainably. What you're doing sounds great. Extra walking here and there throughout the week will make up the difference. Or lengthen your aerobic sessions. I do 3 runs a week with 5 min warm up and cool down walks before and after each run. That adds another 30mins over the week. It all adds up. Good luck 😊

Oh thats a good way of increasing extra minutes. I will do that. Thank you. It feels like lots of exercise but ideas like that make it feel more attainable. Thanks x
