[QUOTE="vit90, post: 733395, member: 141633"] I think I have the time in a normal week day to do the following: 4x (about 2-4 minutes each, 5-10 minutes apart after a short rest) stair running, up and down a flight of stairs until exhausted (maximum 20x and more like 10-12 cycles realistically depending on time of day, etc.) 5x 2-3 minutes dumbbell (6kg weights on each arm) exercise for upper body training. I am also aiming to do a minimum of three brisk 3 mile walks per week. All these are minimums so on a good week I will be doing more sessions. Is this far too little, pretty good or even too much? The main aims are to improve cardio fitness and build some muscle (some of which was lost when dieting) to improve insulin resistance - I am not interested in body sculpting or anything like that! :) [/QUOTE]
