Gym
17/f 145 lbs 163 cm
I finally got registered at a gym (after weeks like wowww) and I was wondering how long I should be spending there, 3 days a week, and if I can push it, 4 days. If it's any help, I want to lose atleast 15 lbs by the end of summer (20 is preferred).

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
Well, you don't want to push yourself too hard, but if you made it out to the gym at least 3 days a week.

Hmm 20lb in about 8 weeks? i'm guessing...It is extreme and could become unhealthy like i said in another question. Depending how active you are already tells you how much you can do at the gym.. 3-4 days a week ( 4 more effective obv.) giving yourself 2 rest days (not next to each other, say sat and weds). It's good to do a mixture of cardio a weights throughout those days though to help weight loss, speeding up the metabolism. Increasing the time periods in the gym each week with help in making you fit too and doing interval training when running will boost your weight loss. Controlling your diet will help too.
I have answered a question like this on another page, take a look at my advise column :) Good luck

Hello,
Well you should start off NOT going as frequently because you need to give your body time to recover after your workout. This meaning you're going to be sore then next day and you don't want to pull muscle or any other things that could damage your body. I would suggest 3 days a week to start off but if you do that go Monday, Wednesday, Friday skip ever other day. When you start to build muscle and after a days workout you don't feel tired or sore then you maybe able to push it and make it more. I suggest if you want to do more through a little bit of Cardio in between the days like Tuesday, and Thursday. About looking 15 pounds before summers over, that is NOT likely. It is UNHEALTHY to loose that much weight in such a short period of time. All I can tell you with that one is do your workout routine and eat healthy. You will shed the pounds it may seem like a slow process when your doing it but you will loose the weight if you do what I said.
I Wish You The Best of Luck!

An hour to an hour and a half 3 days a week is plenty.
