How many times a week should I work out? >
Aim for at least 3–5 days a week. Mix cardio, strength, and flexibility. Start with what fits your schedule. Even short sessions count. Consistency is key because regular movement helps build strength, endurance, and overall fitness over time.
What’s the best workout for burning fat? >
Mix cardio and strength training. Muscle growth from strength increases metabolism. Calorie burning occurs during cardio. For fat loss, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) works well. However, the most effective workout is one that you will continue to do; for long-term fitness and fat loss, consistency is crucial.
Should I do cardio or strength training first? >
Depending on what you want to achieve. If you want to increase your endurance or lose weight, start with cardio. The first step in building muscle or strength is strength training. If you do both in one session, prioritize your top priority. Either way, both types increase overall fitness.
How long should a good workout be? >
A good workout can be 20–60 minutes. Short sessions (even 10–15 minutes) work if done consistently. Focus on quality, not just time. Combine warm-up, main workout, and cool-down. What matters is moving regularly, not chasing long workouts every day.
How do I know if my workout is effective? >
With time, you'll move more fluidly, feel stronger, and have more energy. You might observe physical changes, have easier stress management, or get better sleep. Monitor your strength, stamina, or emotional state. Recall that consistency yields results and that improvement is not always immediate.
