The first visible results of cardio training can be seen in the mirror after two to four weeks, and of strength training after five to six weeks. JAG Physical Therapy CEO and physical therapist John Gallucci Jr. he said: daily mail.
Aerobic exercises for weight loss (running, cycling, swimming) are rhythmic, repetitive movements that increase your heart rate. Overweight or obese people can see the first results after daily cardio training for 30-40 minutes a day for two weeks. People who are slightly overweight will see results later, in about a month. Additionally, men lose weight faster because their bodies consume more calories than women.
You should start with 15-20 minutes a day and increase the time to 30 minutes throughout the week. However, it is important to eat a balanced diet and remember to drink enough water.
Resistance training that targets muscle growth takes longer to see visible results: about five to six weeks with 30 minutes a day. A 2020 study found that adult men can expect to gain 200 to 900 grams of muscle per month if they eat well and stay hydrated.
It is important to let your muscles rest: You should not train the same area (for example biceps) two days in a row. It is better to alternate exercises for the upper and lower body and also pay attention to the stabilizer muscles, that is, the core. Most people quickly notice changes in the thighs and calves. But the feeling of increased power will come much faster.
Both strength training and cardio help reduce inflammation in the body, improve joint movement and lung function, so don’t chase visible results, the expert concluded.
