   three times a week is the healthy maximum because you need to rest in between times. Visit bodybuilding.com for tons of advice. Good luck.

   You can exercise every day if you wish, but keep it fresh by doing something different for at least a couple of days a week.

   Running and Jogging could form the core of your workout for warm up, cool down 4 days out of 7.
   Boxing or something else high impact, high intensity cardio 3 days a week.
   Weights, 3-4 days a week (mix your upper and lower body) or 7 days a week if you want to do upper, lower body exercises separately.
   Cross-trainers, exercise bikes etc for boosting your cardio, 4-5 days a week if you wish also.

   Swimming, Yoga, Pilates etc are all great and can be done 7 days a week.

   If you’re building muscle, its important to give the muscle group a chance to recover, around 24-48 hours depending on the individual. Abdominals recover far quicker and can be worked every day.

   Everyone’s different – your mileage may vary

   If you gained all of that weight back, you may also want to consider that when you injure yourself you need to cut back when the activity level is dropped.

   Within reason injury doesn’t mean you have to stop altogether – consult your GP or a physical therapist to work out a routine to keep strength in the other parts of your body

   All the best.
