Aerobic Training Guidelines: Work out aerobically 3-4 days a week (along with strength training twice a week). Increase the pace in the middle of two 20-25 minute sessions, always warming up and cooling down, and continue with other sessions at a less intense pace. That few minutes of increased intensity a few times a week improves your cardiovascular fitness level without demanding huge amounts of time. You can increase intensity by increasing the time spent at higher levels of intensity or by doing high intensity interval training.
