How often should you go to the gym?

As we try to fit fitness into our busy lives, worrying about how much exercise we should be doing is an added stress that we don’t really need.

Everyone seems to ask themselves the same question: ‘How often should I go to the gym?’. And it’s an impossible question to ask. One that everyone seems to have a different answer to.

We try to answer it in the number of days per week. Is three times a week enough? Or should we be going every day? What about rest days? And how much exercise per day is enough?

There are loads of questions and a frustrating lack of answers. Nobody seems to have the golden rule about workout frequency. And there’s a pretty good reason as to why. You guessed it. Because everybody is different. And it depends on what your fitness goals are.

So, how do you figure out how often you should be exercising? Here’s a couple of considerations to give you the guidance you need.

What are your fitness goals?

The amount of time you need to spend in the gym depends entirely on your fitness goals.

There are loads of different reasons to exercise. Fitness goals can be broad, like ‘I want to be fitter and healthier‘ or specific like ‘I want to be able to do a pull-up’. How you train needs to be specific to your aim.

Your fitness goals will depend on the role you want exercise to play in your life. For some people, going to the gym is an essential part of their life. They will spend almost every day in the gym for hours on end to achieve their goals. Other people just want to keep in good health. Exercise has its part, but there are more important things they want to spend their spare time doing.

The key is finding goals and, therefore, a frequency that is enjoyable and sustainable for you. Your gym routine should complement your lifestyle and make you happy. Work out for the right reasons.

How much recovery do you need between gym visits?

One of the biggest things that underpin your workout frequency is the amount of rest you need depending on your current fitness levels and the type of exercise you’re doing.

If you’re lifting weights, especially heavy ones, you need to take regular rest days. Recovery is essential for strength training. It’s when you’re at rest that your body recovers, repairs, and rebuilds your muscles.

If you’re mainly doing cardiovascular exercise, you can go to the gym more often. Your aerobic system doesn’t need as much time to recover, but just be careful not to do too much intense activity too often. ‘Active rest days’, including some walking, is still classed as cardio, but it’s much more gentle on your body.

Acknowledging your current fitness levels

It’s crucial to consider your current abilities with exercise when planning a routine. If you’re a beginner, you’ll need more rest than an exerciser who is more advanced. The body takes time to adapt to the demands of exercise, and fitness is built up slowly. Listening to your body, respecting your tiredness, and increasing exercise gently is the way to see real improvements without getting sick or injured.

Those gradual increases in exercise don’t have to equal an extra gym session in your week. You might not have that kind of time. Start by adding extra time or an extra exercise to your routine. If you’re lifting weights, that might mean another set or more reps. These kinds of progressions are really telling measurements of improved fitness and should come first before you think about adding another gym session to your weekly schedule.

How many times a week should you go to the gym?

Goal: To increase your aerobic fitness

It’s recommended that you do some form of aerobic exercise every day, so at least 30 minutes. But, that means walking, which you probably do without noticing.

For more moderate or intense forms of aerobic exercises like running, swimming, or cycling, aim for between 1-3 sessions per week, depending on your ability.

If you prefer more intense forms of cardiovascular activity that see you exercises for short, sharp bursts like HIIT, it’s important not to do too much. One session of this per week is enough, and a maximum of two.

Have a look at our helpful content pack about improving your fitness.

Goal: To increase your strength

Increase your strength sessions slowly and gives your muscles plenty of time to recover.
The number of times you go to the gym to strength train depends on how you segment your workouts.

If you do full-body workouts, make sure to take at least a day in between training. Try not to work the same muscle groups on back to back days. Aim to build up to at least 2 training sessions to see some steady progress.

If you segment your workouts by upper body and lower body, you can go to the gym a bit more by alternating between each. Aim for between 2-4 sessions per week. If you segment your body parts even further, you could go to the gym between 5-6 times a week. Just make sure your sessions aren’t too intense and you’re giving yourself adequate rest across the week. Always take rest days.

Have a look at our helpful content pack about increasing your strength.

Goal: Weight loss

If you’re looking to lose weight and want to use exercise as a way to help you do that, it first helps to figure out the calorie deficit you want to achieve each week. That means the number of calories below the number your body needs to maintain your current weight.
The calories you consume should be the first thing you calculate. From there, you can decide how many extra calories you want to burn each week and, therefore, how many gym sessions per week would help. Focus on your diet first, do more general movement each day, then aim for 2 gym sessions to encourage your efforts.

Cardiovascular exercise burns more calories for every 30 minutes of exercise, but it’s always worth including some weight training in your routine to help look after your body.

Have a look at our helpful content pack about losing weight.

How do you decide on exercise frequency?

It’s clear there’s no one size fits all when it comes to figuring out how many days to spend in the gym. But there are things to consider to help find your perfect formula for frequency:

What is your fitness focuses for the week?

Mainly strength with a bit of cardio thrown in.

What does life look like?

Work is a bit busy this week, but weekday evenings are mostly free.

How are you feeling?

A bit sore from last week, but all in all, feeling pretty motivated.

What other activity have you got on?

Doing a big family walk on Saturday.

Answering these questions can help you figure out your formula. For the example above, the answer to the above might be an extra two rest days on Monday and Tuesday to fully recover from the week before, an upper body workout on Wednesday evening, a gentle run on Friday morning, and a lower body workout Sunday.

Remember. You can always test it and change it. Each week will be different from the next. And everybody is different. Your exercise routine is your own.

The Ugly Truth About How Often Should You GO TO THE GYM!!

Picture This!

You’ve finally got around to joining the gym, and you’ve committed to getting in the best shape of your life!

You’ll do whatever it takes to achieve your fitness goals; weight lifting, fitness classes, eating correctly, giving up nights out at the pub etc.

It’s your first week in the gym; the plan is to workout 5-6 times every week, the schedule is set, in two months you won’t know yourself now that you’ve got this impressive new body attached to your head!

Monday comes along, day one and the first workout went great!

“This is easy, bring on day two!”

You go to bed Monday night feeling great, looking forward to Tuesday’s session and asleep you go!

Monday’s workout was a runaway success.

But

Come Tuesday morning… Your entire body’s stiff, and you can barely get up out of bed!

You make it through the day, but cancel Tuesday’s workout saying “I’ll go back to tomorrow” and the come Wednesday morning your body’s in a worse state than Tuesday!!

Wednesday’s session is off too!

It’s Wednesday of week 1, and out of three days so far you’ve only been to the gym once!

Your perfect plan of 5-6 training sessions is out the window! The perfect plan you created in your mind because “This time it’s going to be different!!”

But

Instead of letting discouragement sink in, you adjust course and alter the plan!

Which bring us to

How often should you workout?

Should you go every day?

In today’s post, we’ll be covering everything you need to know regarding how often you should do physical activity in the gym every week!

Let’s get started!

Table of Contents

How often you should workout?

1. What is your goal that you really want to achieve out of the gym?

Dig deep and ask yourself why are you training, what do you want to accomplish?

People say they want to train for building strength, or weight loss, for increased muscle tone, greater endurance and the list goes on!

But Underneath that, what’s the reason for the goal you’re looking to achieve?

It could range from being able to live another 30 years so you can walk your daughter down the aisle, or maybe you want to bulk up, so you’ve more confidence with women or men, or you want to see how far you can go in achieving your physical potential!

Whatever the reason, find out your “Why” that’s hidden underneath a strength or an endurance or a weight loss goal etc. so you’re 100% in and not aimlessly going to the gym, going through the motions and hoping for the best!

2. What Is Your Exercise History, how long have you been lifting?

Is this your first time in the gym, or have you been lifting weights for years?

Most people reading this will be beginners because, as we’ll talk about later on, once you’ve been training for years and years, you develop that intuition for what your body needs and also how much you can take in a given week at any one time.

If you are just getting started, keep things simple, exercise for at least 30 minutes and build-up with perfect form, consistency is the key for you to continue moving forward long-term!

A great way to give you an initial push is to hire a certified personal trainer for a few weeks if you need to learn how to exercise properly.

3. How much spare time do you have during the week?

How many days are you willing to commit to gym sessions?

In the gym where I work, the only time some of the members get to themselves is on their lunch breaks but they get it done!

In the morning time, it’s “bring the kids” to school time, and then in the evening, it’s family time.

You might have a family or a significant other that you devote time to or maybe not.

Either way, find out how much time you have, and then if you’re honestly willing to invest that time consistently in yourself over the long-term for the payoff, you will get out of it!

Once you’ve figured your unique “Why” for wanting to train, then set up a balanced workout routine for making this goal achievable.

Then

It’s time to begin your fitness program and then from there adapt or progress it towards your level of fitness, so you get the best return possible!

Moving on!

Goal Specific Training: Prepare To Engage!

Below are some general guidelines to get you started.

Always keep in mind that whatever your goal is, if you plan on training effectively week in week out,

You must also

Have a solid nutrition plan, keep well hydrated with water and have adequate rest and recovery days for your body to continue to grow and improve!

You already know this, it’s been said to death but if your training is solid, and you’ve hit a wall then check in these areas above for leaks!

1. I want General Fitness:

3-5 Workouts per week will be more than enough. Do a fitness induction that will be part of your gym membership in most health clubs and get a resistance training routine you can do 2-3 times a week.

The other sessions you can mix it up with fitness classes, swimming if that’s an option and keeping your body flexible and robust by incorporating, e.g. a yoga class once a week.

This routine will give you more choices then what’s coming next because with general fitness you can mix it up.

You will benefit greatly, especially if you’re starting out.

You will be well rounded combining muscle building, cardio training, working all of the major muscle groups, hence the General in front of fitness!

2.Weight/Fat-Loss if you want to get Lean!

3-6 Workouts is more than enough for most individuals looking to lose weight and shed body fat.

Once again, begin on the low end and then gradually build up your weekly workout days from 3 up to 6.

For most people, when performing sets for a given body part, the 9-12 rep range is ideal and then as you adapt to this resistance, increase the weight you’re lifting for that rep range.

Once you’ve built up a solid base of cardiovascular fitness, I would go from steady-state cardio to more intense training such as HIIT for up to 20 minutes or Tabata where you get to work at a much higher intensity, working different energy systems in your body thus reducing your body fat%.

A sound nutrition plan is paramount with looking to reduce your body fat. As the saying goes – You can’t out-train a bad diet!

3. I’m looking to build muscle and/Or Increase My Strength:

If you’re starting out with strength training, lifting free weights three times a week is plenty and, if you squeeze in a fourth every now and then consider it a bonus.

Your body needs time to adapt to the training.

For full body strength gains, get proficient in compound movements such as the Squat, Deadlift, The Press and Bench Press as well as Chin-Ups, Pull-Ups, Dips, and so on.

When done right, you will see significant improvements in strength and muscle mass, do not rush through these movements, do them right and slowly build over-time.

Keeps the reps around 5-8 for strength training and more towards the 9-12 in the hypertrophy range we mentioned earlier.

N.B. Remember

These are general guidelines to stay in that will benefit most people, the key is to not rush through them.

When you’re a beginner, how many days a week you should go depends on how much you’ve recovered from the previous workout.

Yes, this varies from person to person but when your body needs to recover, let it heal.

Keep things balanced!

Rest days are where the progress is made, not during the workout, but when you’re days off or sleeping at night.

No matter what your training goal is, there’s a two-step process when starting out.

Part 1: The Initial Stiffness and More!

We’ve all been there, feeling that initial stiffness or Doms(delayed onset muscle soreness) when beginning to exercise again.

Whether it’s going to the gym, playing a sport, or spending the day removing hefty, copious amount of junk from your house into a skip your muscles are guaranteed to feel stiff at some level the next day!

It’s all part of the process, it’s the same for everyone, and usually, after your first workout, you could be stiff for three to four days which you may need before going back for workout number two.

The good thing is it will only happen once, twice at best once you stick to the training program you are on and stay the course.

For a lot of people, the key for those first two weeks is acknowledging that it’s not going to be pretty, it certainly won’t be perfect.

So just relax, maintain good consistency, focus on showing up and getting a little better every time!

As long as you’re showing up regularly the first two weeks, momentum will kick in, any stiffness you were getting will be gone and the weights you found hard to lift in your first week will feel easy now!

This brings us to Part 2:

Within your weights program, you’ll have training variables that all help you achieve your goal faster and safer.

These variables are Reps, Sets, Load, Tempo(the speed at which you lift and control the weight) and also the rest periods.

Most people adapt to a muscle-building program every 6-8 workouts/2-3 weeks.

So

Once you’ve overcome the initial stiffness from week 1, it’s critical that for every workout you do, maintain useful intensity as you push towards your limit by manipulating the variables above, so your body continues to grow!

In the 3 weeks doing the program and add in a fourth if you’re just getting started an example of this for say a Biceps Curl would be:

Week 1: 9-12 reps for 2 Sets at 8Kg’s for 90 seconds Rest Period

Week 2: 8-10 reps for 2-3 Sets at 9Kg’s for 75 seconds Rest Period

Week 3: 6-8 reps for 3-4 Sets at 9.5/10Kg’s for 60 seconds Rest Period.

As you can see with this example, you’re always gradually progressing, working your routine to death until you cannot go any further with it.

When you’ve maxed out everywhere, it’s time for a brand new training program.

Use this two-part process when starting out regardless of how many fitness days your exercising.

Always Be Flexible

We’ve talked about how often you should go to the gym above, but I also mentioned that these are general guidelines.

When you’re getting started, for a lot of the population just going twice a week consistently for 6 weeks then progressing to three sessions a week come week 7 will be plenty for burning calories.

There’s no magic number, it will be different for everyone, and regardless of your goal, the most important thing is consistency over time.

Some weeks you will have more energy than others.

If you get four workouts in one week but only two the week after that’s fine, just keep showing up and giving it everything you’ve got for each session.

You never stand still, you’re either going up, or you’re going down so whatever way your body is feeling, go with the flow and adapt accordingly.

Compare your weekly sessions to a savings account. An individual workout doesn’t feel like much, but the compound interest you get overtime adds up.

What I’m getting at is if your goal is to train 5-6 days a week for general fitness, but physically, you can only manage 3-4 max, that’s fine.

As the weeks go by, all of those sessions add up anyway to get you where you want to be.

When you’ve got some momentum and a good few weeks under your belt, find what actually works best for you.

If I’m doing strength training using the compound lifts on low reps of 1-5 then three and max four days a week is enough for me. I need recovery days.

I only learned this through testing, I used to think I was a wimp if I didn’t train heavy six days a week!

Maybe I am lol, but three to four works best for me, so I’m getting the best return possible and for every individual that’s all that counts!

Find out through testing experience what works best for you and your body.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Below are some of the asked about questions when people begin working out but if you have a question that we’ve left out let us know in the comment box below ASAP!

1. How long should my workouts be?

45 Minutes to an hour is more than enough time for you to get a great workout in will keep you ticking over for the rest of the day.

Take your time warming up, ten minutes if done correctly is plenty.

Use the next 40 minutes of controlled rage as your main phase, going all out or at least doing enough to maintain what you’ve already built up.

The last ten minutes are for a gradual cool down with some light stretching and breathing exercises to bring your heart rate back down.

2. Why should I take a day off after two straight days of training?

Not everyone needs to, but for most individuals, you cannot maintain a high level of intensity without proper rest and recovery.

You don’t build muscle when working out, it’s on your rest days and when your sleeping that your muscles recover and grow so eventually you will need a rest day.

Over a week doing two days on then one day off then two days on then two days off is an effective routine for you to continue to grow while getting adequate rest at the same time.

That being said, also switch your muscle building days around if you can only make it on certain days.

E.g. If you can only do three in a row, then two off, then one on is better than only three days that week if you can handle four without overdoing it!

You can also have active rest days where you going to the gym but, moving at a light intensity doing something like a Yoga or Tai-Chi class, Self-Myofascial release or a few laps of the pool to name but a few.

3. Do I need to incorporate supplementation into my workouts?

Quality supplements definitely move things forward, but only after you’ve got your sleep, nutrition and hydration in order first.

They never replace these variables ever, but they do compliment them!

Focus on getting your weight training in order, build up your experience, figure out how many times a week you should be going to the gym first.

Once you’re on top of that and have everything else in order, then begin trying out supplementation.

A protein shake is great after a workout because the nutrients get into your muscles quicker, but a good turkey or beef salad will be more than enough too plus it usually tastes better as well.

4. How important is sleep? Can I get by on only 5-6 hours a night?

Sleep is everything, as we talked about in question 2 above you need adequate rest for your body to grow so unless you’ve got a newborn child in the house that’s awake all night make sure you’re getting eight hours quality sleep!

If you don’t, you’re more likely to get an injury and even if you don’t, for most people, eventually, burnout will happen.

Time to wrap up!

Now, Get Moving!

Well, there you have it!

Once you have your goal crystal clear in your mind, then get moving but start off slow and build up.

Take your time, remember the two-step process above, it’s all experience and trial and error as you continue to move forward.

Take your workouts one at a time, relax, slowly build and gradually progress!

Get to know your body, its strengths but also finding that fine line for you between doing the right amount of lifting for progress and overdoing it to the point that no progress is made!

Now you’ve no excuses to keep stalling, taking action is everything!

Cheers, and enjoy your gym every day you go!

Q&A: How often do we need to go to the gym? (And other exercise questions answered)

If you started 2017 with a resolution to lose weight or get fit then you may have found that you need some extra help and motivation by now. In fact, 80% of people who join the gym in the new year will quit by the second week in February and generally speaking, 50% of people who join the gym will quit within six months.

So what can you do to stick to, and get the most out, of your new regime? James Brown, lecturer in biology and biomedical science at Aston University, told The Conversation how to stay motivated – he also answered some burning fitness questions in a Facebook Live session.

How much exercise do we need?

However there is some evidence that even people who don’t exercise throughout the week, but manage to fit their activity in at the weekend – so they go walking or they play part of a sport club – have the same outcomes in terms of health and disease as people that exercise throughout the week. The so-called “weekend warrior” effects of people that have a sedentary job during the week, but exercise at weekends has been shown to actually be as beneficial as exercising throughout the week. And that’s a really interesting finding because we know that spending more time sitting down is very bad for us.

So there isn’t really a set figure that’s backed by hard science. The most important thing is to be as active as you can manage. So if you can manage to go to the gym two to three times a week, great. If you can only manage to go to the gym once a week then make sure that on your non-gym days, you’re being as physically active as possible. So every hour make sure you get up from your desk, if you work at a desk – walk around, get the blood moving, get your legs and your muscles contracting.

If you’re walking around an office then that’s better than sitting down, and if you get the opportunity to take the stairs instead of the lift (which is a big thing as in Aston University because we’ve got seven storeys), then try and take the stairs – it’s really good exercise.

What about training for long durations?

If you’re a newcomer to exercise – and that’s really what we’re talking about, as most people that are making their new year’s resolutions and maybe are struggling to stick to them – two hours at the gym might be too much.

And in terms of trying to maintain that motivation, make sure that what you’re doing is manageable. So don’t do so little that you leave the gym without a bead of sweat on you, but make sure you’re not doing so much that you are in so much pain for days afterwards that you’re unlikely to go to the gym again for another week. Find the level that you can manage and build on that level as you go through your exercise regime.

Protein shakes or lean meat to build lean muscle?

That’s a really good question. I think taking protein in after a workout, particularly if you’ve done resistance training, is very important for building and maintaining muscle mass. It used to be felt that there was a window in which you needed to take protein in, and that was a couple of hours, but that’s kind of been dispelled. So as long as, probably within 24 hours of your exercise, you take in 20 to 30 grams of protein then you’re going to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.

The benefit of taking a whey protein shake, rather than eating meat that contains the same amount of protein, is that it’s often absorbed faster because it doesn’t have to be digested. Beyond that, just make sure you’re maintaining a protein intake in your diet that’s likely to be helping to maintain or increase the size of lean body mass after exercise.

I’m very time poor – if I want to put what little time I have into the best exercise for general health and a toned body, what should I do?

I think many of us are time poor. The key is understanding that exercise doesn’t have to be in large chunks on set days. So make sure that you’re walking as much as you can throughout the day.

If you have a high intensity interval training regime when you’re at home that takes ten minutes, so ten minutes of exercise, it doesn’t have to cost anything because the exercises which we do as part of a high intensity interval training exercise could be calisthenic based: it could be squats or star jumps for example, that’s not going to take up a lot of your time. Ten minutes every other day or three days a week is going to help you remain fit and will fit in with your busy schedule.

Вопросительные слова в английском языке: where, when, how

Если вы пропустили две первые статьи из цикла, в которых я рассказывала о словах who, whom, whose и what, which, why, то вы всегда можете найти их в блоге.

Итак, давайте перейдем к нашей теме.

Where? – Где?

Вопросительное слово, которое используют, когда говорят о месте:

Where do you live? – Где вы живете?

Where is my coat? – Где мое пальто?

Where are you going? – Куда вы идете?

Where did he fly? – Куда он улетел?

Where are you from? – Откуда вы?

Where did he come from? – Откуда он пришел?

When? – Когда?

Это слово используется в вопросах о времени:

When did he finish school? – Когда он закончил школу?

When will you visit us? – Когда вы навестите нас?

На вопрос с when можно ответить по-разному: указать точное время, день, месяц или год. В том случае, если вам нужен конкретный ответ – уточняйте вопрос:

What is the date of your birthday? – Какая дата твоего рождения?

What year did you move to London? – В каком году вы переехали в Лондон?

What time is it? – Который час?

What time does the train arrive? – В котором часу прибывает поезд?

Кстати, я заметила, что многие не умеют правильно говорить о времени на английском языке, долго думают перед тем, как сказать который час. Если вы тоже не уверены, что помните как говорить о времени на английском языке, то рекомендую вам изучить материалы Как указывать время на английском и Предлоги времени.

Когда ваш вопрос не о точном времени, а о том, насколько часто совершается/совершалось действие, то начинайте вопрос не с When, а с How often :

How often do you go to the gym? – Как часто вы ходите в спортзал?

How often did he call you? – Как часто он вам звонил?

И в ответе, конечно же, вам понадобится наречие частоты или adverb of frequency, одно слово или целая фраза. О них я подробно рассказываю в статье Наречия частоты.

How? – Как? Каким образом?

Одно из самых «продуктивных» вопросительных слов. How – это о том, как происходит действие:

How did you make it? – Как вы это сделали?

How do you use this thing? – Как использовать эту штуку?

Имея изначальный перевод «как», слово how образует много разных сочетаний с другими словами: наречиями и прилагательными.

Выше я уже упоминала сочетание How often (Как часто?):

How often do you travel? – Как часто вы путешествуете?

How often did you see her? – Насколько часто вы виделись с ней?

How many и How much (Сколько?). How many – для исчисляемых существительных, How much – для неисчисляемых существительных:

How many days will you spend with us? – Сколько дней вы проведете с нами?

How many people were in the room? – Сколько людей было в комнате?

How much money did you spend? – Сколько денег вы потратили?

How much sugar did she buy? – Сколько сахара она купила?

Об особенностях использования слов many и much вы можете узнать из статьи Слова many, much, a lot of в значении «много».

Другие наречия, которые можно встретить с how : well, quickly, fast:

How well can you swim? – Насколько хорошо вы плаваете?

How quickly do they work? – Как быстро они работают?

How fast are you driving? – Насколько быстро ты едешь?

How образует вопросительные сочетания с прилагательными far, big, long, deep, wide, old и другими. На русский эти сочетания переводятся по-разному:

How far is to the nearest town? – Насколько далеко до ближайшего города?

How big is your house? – Насколько большой твой дом?

How long is the lesson? – Сколько длится урок?

How deep is this well? – Какая глубина этого колодца?

How wide was the road? – Какая была ширина дороги?

How old are your parents? – Сколько лет твоим родителям?

Говорят, что тот, кто умеет правильно построить вопрос, тот умеет и правильно на него ответить. Теперь вы знакомы с большинством вопросительных слов и сможете построить и, соответственно, ответить на любой вопрос.

Еще три вопросительных слова со всеми нюансами отправляются в ваш запас. Используйте и не допускайте ошибок!
