Is possible to change every four days?
It is if you exercise three days in a row and recover on day 4!
So here is the question... are you on day 1, day 2, day 3 or day 4?

****

 
1.  Consult a physician

Before beginning a training plan consult a physician for clearance.  It is important to have baseline readings for pulse, blood pressure, and respiration.  It is also a good idea to ask for a baseline reading on your oxygen level.

 
2.  Understand the difference between Aerobic and Anaerobic exercise

When exercising initially focus on maintaining an aerobic rather than anaerobic state.  This is classic heart rate training and using a heart-rate monitor is the best way of knowing which exercise state you are in. 

 
3.  Do not overexert yourself

Take your time and build on the small improvements that over time turn into major improvements. 
 
This plan is meant to take no longer than 1 hour per day.  Focus on completing 3 days in a row and then take 1 day to recover.  The length of time is what to initially focused on.  Do not worry about speed!
 
  • Please keep in mind that the initial focus is on duration.  Once you can handle the duration, focus on speed and cadence.
  • If you miss a day, don't worry about it - just start again with day 1...
