[QUOTE="RodBallantyne, post: 366653, member: 45661"] As many of the respondents have said, we are all different, and have different levels of capability. Don't confuse endurance events with fitness, an ability to run a marathon is often seen as a measure of fitness. It isn't! You can have a high relative VO2Max and a rapid recovery time and still not be able to complete a marathon, because we are all different and have different mixtures of fast twitch and slow twitch fibres in our muscles. The important thing is to establish what is the most effective regime of exercise for your own body, not what you might read about other people. What is good for me is probably too strenuous for you so I won't try to advise you. You should attend a good gym and get good advice from a professional who can give you a suitable regime for you particular circumstances. The most likely regime is one which has a mixture of cardiovascular work and muscle strengthening, and lasts about 40 to 45 minutes each session. I would only advise that you try to do at least 3 sessions per week. [/QUOTE]
