This is one of the questions which we got a lot. Especially from people who have never trained before or who are about to start training for the first time in their lives. And usually, I always respond by saying that it’s not the right way to approach your fitness. This shows a mindset which most of the fitness industry takes advantage of by selling short-term solutions.
We have all seen them in Pakistan as well: 40 Days challenge, 12-week transformation, etc. The issue with it is that a person who has spent the last 10 years being inactive and gaining weight expects to get a dream physique in 12 weeks or so, of course, it isn’t usually possible for MOST.
Firstly, an individual’s results depend on multiple factors – How much weight do you have to lose? (The more weight you have to lose the more time it’ll take to reach your goal). How good are you with your diet? (If you don’t follow your diet your progress will be slow). How consistent are you with your training? (Of course, a consistent person will see better results compared to someone who is not that regular with their exercise). So, when someone asks how long will it take them to see results from exercise – The answer depends on all of the above-mentioned factors and MORE…
Secondly, whenever you start training there are two types of results – some of them are quantifiable i.e. scale weight and measurements, etc. Others are not quantifiable like less stress, less anxiety and a general feeling of well-being from exercise, etc. Everyone starts feeling great about themselves immediately when they start training and it has to do with dopamine (Feel Good substance) release as a result of exercise. Another thing that happens because of exercise is that people automatically become better with their diet, sleep, and water intake, etc.
If we talk about quantifiable results – scale weight and measurements, they depend on a lot of different factors as mentioned before. A person can be given the best “Personal Trainer” and Workout Program and it won’t “WORK” till the person won’t “WORK” himself/herself. Meaning that everyone needs to realize that your results are dependent mostly on you.
You will spend 45 minutes to an hour in the gym with your coach and a good coach will take care of your workouts and will push you to your limits but what you do when you go back home is very important. If you train hard with your trainer but when you go back home, you don’t follow your diet, your results will suffer.
