How much exercise is needed?

[ANITELI]

Hello everyone,

I am another new one and i am ready to shed these pounds away. Although i know i will need the excerise, i just dont know how much excerise i need or how many times a week.
I started dancing salsa yesterday. I have a stair climbing machine, a stationary bike, and a resistance band. Now all i need is guidance, a plan.
i have at least 3 hours a day. Some one please help me with a plan!!!

Your outlook is Awesome!

I an not qualified to set up a specific plan for "you"
But I can tell you what my 2002 DANDR book say's:

Dr A was convinced that exercise married perfectly with his approach.
He suggested a goal of 3-4 days a week and to burn at least 1000 calories in that week.

It took me awhile to reach that goal myself, with many of the same machines you have...but now it's like second nature..

I hope other's here can help out as well.....

Best of luck!
