One of the problems people have is the rush to achieve their goals, but haste is not a good ally when you exercise. Having a personal trainer makes it easier to achieve your goals in an “quick way”, since a prior assessment and a tailored training program are carried out according to the goals you want to achieve; the time needed to achieve your goals depends precisely on these two factors.
The goals set should always be realistic, since many people set goals or targets that are out of touch with reality
During this time, at Reto 48 centers, they have a 48-day period as the perfect amount of time to achieve results and see improvements in our bodies
Normally, people start exercising or join a gym with the goal of losing weight or having a “perfect” body, and that motivation to get started is positive, but it is usually quickly lost.
How long do you have to exercise to achieve results?
The first physical change we will notice once we have started exercising is the gradual improvement in physical fitness. If you have never exercised or have not done so for several years for different reasons, at first it will be very difficult to face the first workouts; we may run out of breath and even get the feeling that we are unable to finish the workouts.
Within a couple of weeks, depending on each person’s lifestyle, we will begin to notice the first changes, which will appear at a respiratory and muscular level.
What is so difficult at first becomes increasingly easier, and those are the results of exercise.
When do you start to notice the physical change?
Although improved respiratory and muscular capacity is a physical change, what people usually wonder is when they will start to «see» the results.
Nutrition
Nutrition is the fundamental pillar if we want to start seeing and noticing optimal results. If we add suitable physical activity to this diet, the results may become visible in less than a month.
Physical factors
There are many factors that can affect when we begin to see results. We can define these factors as the person’s starting point. The higher the BMI (Body Mass Index), the more difficult it will be to start seeing results in our exercise routine. This is precisely why you must not throw in the towel or give up, because once results begin to show, you will feel better and healthier.
Age is also another factor that we must take into account. A 21-year-old girl and a 65-year-old woman are not the same; even if they have the same weight and height, they will not take the same amount of time to see the results of going to the gym. The older you get, the more our muscular capacity is affected
Examples of how long it may take
If we take as an example a healthy person, without excess weight, aged between 20 and 50 who trains an average of 3 times a week for one hour, the time within which the results of exercise will begin to show is 4 weeks.-
For people who suffer from overweight or whose physical condition is not the best, this period may extend to 8 weeks. One of the positive things is that, if we train between 3 and 4 times a week, everyone can begin to see results or small changes in their body in less than 2 months. In addition, if we accompany that physical activity with a healthy lifestyle and a suitable diet, the time frames are shortened
