no as long as you're not gaining weight on a high protein diet

I don't think I could do 60 mins of that dancing! I used popsugar fitness and it was quite a workout! If I do have to do the full 60 mins could I space them out?

In that case it's better to stick to walking if you can. It is not about the amount of calories you burn it's the amount of time you are going for - something about doing cardio (even if less intense) for longer than 45 min. makes your body burn off stores of fat as fuel and we believe something about that sways pink.

No, the time has to be consecutive, unfortunately.

BUT all that being said if you are busy and can't get in your walk, and occasionally have to do a video instead, it's ok. but i'd still try to get 60 min. when you can.

They do have easier dance ones, though.

(Unrelated to exercise). Doctor had me off toe for 4 weeks. Started moving again, but had to stop due to poor air quality and asthma (fires in California). I make my first ttc girl attempt after 12 weeks of Le diet at end of this month. I've lost a little over 20 lbs and done well with diet, but is exercise start and stop going to mess me up? Is it ok to go couch potato at this point? I'm unsure of if and when I can exercise again. My lungs suck at the moment. Thanks!!! Proud of myself so far. Two toddler boys and haven't been this weight since college. Wearing skinny jeans before maternity jeans!

I saw your thread and replied to it!

Got it! I was actually doing some more research on YouTube today and found quite a few videos that seem much easier, I'll definitely give them a shot on the days I can't get my walk in, especially with the cooler weather coming right around the corner, they'll be very helpful! I'll definitely stick to the hour! :)
