You have to balance it with stretching and muscle-building exercises, like squats.<br \/>\nIt doesn&#39;t have to be 8 minutes exactly. A good idea would be to have a target heart rate you want to hit. If you want to go for a length of time, try to hit at least a minimum of 8 minutes, but going over a smidgen won&#39;t hurt!<br \/>\nI&#39;ve been a combat medic for four years now, and have gotten very familiar with both working out and helping others to get up and moving in the morning.

Walking in the morning is really lovely though. Shooting for 8 minutes as a minimum is probably a manageable number but exactly 8 seems silly if I am enjoying what I am doing I see no reason not to keep doing for a bit longer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ace P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Doing your workout depends on what time you feel your body is into it. For some, they do it at night, forhebrest, in the morning. Stretching and yoga is okay and you can always do so within the time youfeel you&#39;d be fulfilled.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aymeric T.
