No hard rule: Each person is different, but it is good to be as active (non-exercise) as comfortable every day and to do moderate exercise 3x a week for 20-30 mins each time. There are good guidelines to read. This is for older folk, but it is well presented. http://www.aafp.org/afp/2006/0801/p437.html your doctor or a gym can be specific for you! admiration and best wishes to you!
