How many times a week should a teen work out?

I power walk five days a week for 30 minutes to lose fat and then I lift some 3 pound weights (10 reps for each of the three weight workouts so 30 all together) then I do 20 push-ups, 100 reps of ab workout plus another twenty and if I need to take a rest then I'll usually take a drink of water & stretch.I'm planning on doing this four days a week, but how many times should I do this? My workout isn't as intense as it sounds & my body does get a lot of rest :) please no negative answers, thank you.

Recommended Answer:

This sounds like an excellent workout. I suggest starting at 4 days a week, as you said, but start out only once a day. I know most people think that working out 100 times a day is much better, but that can cause serious stress on joints, and even sometimes cause the body to keep the fat stored because the brain thinks that too much is going too fast. It's a method of survival! So start out slow, for about a month. Then slowly intensify the routine and perform it more often. This way, you get the best results!

Other Answers:

• 5 days. Usually the weekdays and take the weekends off.
• Six
• everyday except friday sundown to sunday daybreak (sabbath)
• You can honestly do that work out daily and be fine. You need to get some heavier weights if you want results.
