Training Frequency and Your Schedule

Posted by Dan on January 22nd 2007 to Training

Many people have the question of “How often should I train?” or different variations that essentially mean the same thing. Is it twice a week? Once a week? Do I have to train every single day to get any results? Well, it depends!

Let’s take this from a very practical aspect. Life seems to be at its best when its in some sort of a balance. So, the recommendation we’d like to present to you is that your training frequency for general lifetime fitness is whatever works for you!

Here’s the thing, you don’t have to workout 2 hours a day to see results. If the best you can do is work out once per week for about an hour, make sure you get in that one workout each week. But don’t just do it half way and think “Poor me, I can only workout once per week”! Make that the best workout ever, full of intensity, giving it all you’ve got for that time that you have to actually work out. Make it count! If you follow this, you should see at least some results with the limited amount of time that you put in. It will probably take you a lot longer to make drastic changes, but who knows? If you really put in more effort with that one workout than you could working out 3 times a week, you might see results quicker afterall!

So figure out when you can exercise in your own schedule, stick to it and make each one of those workouts really intense and valuable. Do what works for you and you’ll be much happier with your workouts and more likely to stick with it longterm.
