How many times a week should you work out? Stay tuned to find out!
—————————————————————————————————————————

People ask us all the time, “how many days a week should you workout?” The truth is that the answer is not simple. We wish we could tell you how many days to workout a week with an exact number like 3 or 4. However, the optimal training frequency depends on your goals and your schedule. Workout types and workout frequency for weight loss, muscle building, and strength training will all be different.

In this video, we will explain the difference between daily movement and formal workouts. We’ll emphasize how important it is to discover the kind of exercises you enjoy! We’ll discuss rest and recovery from different types of exercise. When it comes down to the question of how often to workout, the most important thing is to create a workout schedule that works for you, with exercises that you enjoy! If you can establish something that works for you, you will be able to be consistent. Consistency leads to long-term results!

Great advice. Not a boiler plate answer. I find listening to my body (not my mind) is giving me great results.

Everyone's situation is different. Given my age (54) and health (arthritis and overuse/joint injuries) and current ability, (40 years in the gym) taking into account recovery time - my sweet spot is scheduled workouts four (cardio and weights) days per week, with active rest on the days between. On active rest days, I will typically walk 3-5 miles and do 40 minutes of yoga or foam roll outs. At 54, training every day isn't realistic and recovery is especially important. Another great video ! 🙂

"Listen to your body" I like ur statement Dr. Thank u for the great advice

[yvettebennett]

I appreciate your videos. This was a great one!
People are quick to say you need to workout 5-6 times a week and it depends on so many factors. I move my body a lot and try to workout 3-4 times a week not including walking.
Thank you for all you do.

I always find that I need to aim for everyday - because inevitably, I will miss a day or three in a week due to how I feel, or other obligations.

Again great advise. Yes I learned the hard way of pushing myself too much and ignoring what my body was saying to me. Because I “just had too exercise “. Most time less is more Beneficial to the body. So we thank you for your free information and continue putting out these wonderful videos. God Bless you and your fam.

I've always felt there is no one sweet spot that works for everyone. Even my workout schedule needs to change at times based on how I'm feeling or what's going on in life at the time.

I workout 3 times a week I like to mix up my workouts I use resistance bands and ankle weights I'm 32 years old been working out since I was 14 years old

[hotlatte]

Great video! I aim for 10k everyday some days I only get 7k some days I will get 12k 😅. I started MRT workouts MWF and it is intense! I lift regularly (its alot more gentle and low key) Tuesday and Thursday and I've been able to increase weight and the after effects of the resistance training is burning SO many more calories!
