How often should I exercise? Researchers and health professionals recommend that healthy individuals should perform aerobic exercise at least 5 days a week. Strength training should be done 2–3 times a week. You should not begin an exercise program in the first few weeks of weight loss. If you are just beginning the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan and do not currently exercise, we recommend you begin with some light to moderate exercise at about Week 3. If you are already exercising, you may continue, but listen to your body. You may feel a need to decrease the intensity of your exercise until your body adapts to the 5 & 1 Plan.
