I voted for the 5 hours per week. That is the MOST I can see myself exercising in a week and really should strive for that goal!

I did the 4 hours because I feel like 30 minutes is really all I can manage without throwing the rest of the day into a tail spin.

As you all know from my previous post I'm living at the gym right now. I'm doing between 7-8 hours a week. Only good thing is husband is being supportive, has even volunteered to pick up the girls from daycare so I can go straight from work.

Hey thats not high enough for me! I voted 6 hrs/week but I'm already doing that. I'd say the MOST would be 10-15 hours/week.

Go.

I chose 4 hours, cuz since I haven't done anythign and didn't want to pick "exercise, what's that?", I didn't wanna kill myself. Now, since I can SEE myself doing it. I need to DO IT!

Ok, it was me who voted for the 2hr choice.....I am trying to be brutally honest, both here and with myself. I figure that if I can get back into a routine of 4 solid workouts (of 30mins each, so not the 'specific' choice on the poll) a week I can work from there.

I chose 5 hours a week. The yoga workout I do most frequently is exactly 45 minutes and I've been mixing it up with a 30 minute Pilates workout. But I think 5 hours per week is my limit right now. Shooting for anything more than that will probably overwhelm me at this point.

According to Health Canada to be physically active, adult Canadian (age 25-55) should engage in one hour of low-intensity activity each day; or 30-60 minutes of moderate activity 4-7 days a week; or 20-30 minutes of vigorous activity 4-7 days a week.

Low insensity activity can be picking up children, gardening, mowing the lawn, etc so its not totally off.

Go.
