But to really decide what your best exercise schedule should be, there are 2 main questions you have to ask yourself: First, What’s Realistic? The range of making active days the majority of your life is 4-7 days per week. So you have to ask yourself, what’s realistic. What number of days each week can you consistently commit to?
