In terms of frequency, you should try and exercise at least three times per week and no more
than five times per week. Preferably you should try to exercise every other day to give your
body a days rest in-between workouts.

your heart rate. Depending on your fitness goals, exercise between 55% and 90% of your
maximum heart rate. A simple way of estimating your maximum heart rate is by subtracting
your age from 220. As a general rule of thumb, if your fitness objective is to Lose Weight, you
will want to keep your heart rate between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. If your
objective is improved aerobic performance keep your heart rate between 75% and 85% of
your maximum heart rate.
