Exercise Results


Question from member:

How Long Until I See Results From Working Out?

Answer from Joe Erwin, AAFA General Manager/Head Personal Trainer:

I have been asked this question on many occasions, and it's a fair question. However, it is tough to tell when you can expect to see results from working out. After all, there are a number of factors that will determine the outcome:

  • What Results Are You Looking to Achieve?
  • Do you want to lose weight? Gain size? Get stronger? Get ready for a specific sport?
  • How Often Are You Working Out?
  • How's Your Diet?

What to Expect and When to Expect it?
If you're a beginner to working out, the first 6 weeks of your training program are very important even though you may not see significant results. These first 6 weeks are known as the "neuromuscular adaptation phase" and are characterized by an increase in muscular coordination and improved strength without a significant physical transformation.

So, therefore, if you want to lose and you're not seeing immediate results, just remember that the first 6 weeks lay the foundation. After that, the weight will start to fall off, bearing in mind that you're working out and eating correctly.

With that in mind, it should be remembered that achieving your fitness or weight loss goal isn't about doing something for a few months and then stopping. Instead, it's about making exercise and healthy eating a part of your daily lifestyle. When you do so, you will see significant results, and they'll last!
