HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU EXERCISE TO GET RESULTS
Life today is busier than ever, juggling work, family, and personal commitments leaves little time for daily workouts. If finding time to exercise six days a week feels impossible… you’re not alone!
The good news? You don’t need to train every day to see incredible results. It’s all about training smarter, not harder.
How Many Days a Week Should You Work Out?
Research shows that working out just three days per week can deliver amazing results, when your training plan is structured properly.
Traditional programs that involve 5–6 days of workouts usually focus on training splits (like upper body, lower body, core). Each day targets specific muscle groups while allowing others to recover.
But full-body training can achieve the same (or even better) results in less time! That’s why my Making Fit Life® programs are designed around 3 full-body sessions per week, hitting all the major muscle groups efficiently while giving your body enough rest to recover and grow stronger.
⏱️ How Long Should Each Workout Be?
You can get an effective, body-transforming workout in just 30–45 minutes.
Shorter workouts are ideal for busy women who want results without spending hours in the gym.
The key is intensity and structure, using compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and push-ups. These movements engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, helping you burn more calories, improve strength, and boost metabolism in less time.
Can You Really Get Results Working Out 3x a Week?
Absolutely, if you follow a well-designed plan.
A balanced 3-day workout split combined with daily movement (like step goals or light cardio) can deliver powerful results, from fat loss and toning to better energy and mood.
Remember, fitness should enhance your life, not stress you out. The best routine is the one you can stick with consistently.
💬 The Takeaway
You don’t need to spend hours every day working out to see real change.
You just need the right plan, focus, and support.
If you’re ready to get stronger, leaner, and feel amazing without spending your life in the gym, join my Making Fit Life® Coaching Program and let’s make fitness fit your lifestyle!
