How many days a week can i work out to maximize the benefit of exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Really depends: on what your exercise goals are, what your routine is and how long you've been exercising. If you are just starting 3-4X/week is likely fine. But many professional athletes will work out 5-6X/week, even at times working out every day - granted there is usually great variety in their workouts.
