Getting Great Results With Just 3 Short Workouts Per Week

This past summer, I resolved to ease the amount of time I was working out, resulting in a rule to only hit the gym three times a week. I would stick to this maximum 3-day workout week, no matter whether or not I made my goal the week beforehand. There were times I only went twice a week, but mostly I managed to get around to it thrice weekly. Even with this reduced amount of time spent, my body still looks great as per usual. That’s definitely a plus!

I Backed Off On Calories to Make Up For Less Time In the Gym

I did not have to cut calories excessively but I did begin consuming more proportionate meals on most days. Just eat a tiny bit less than you normally do, while only occasionally indulging in a large meal. It’s not as difficult as you’d think. I didn’t need as much food since I wasn’t exercising as much, which makes you hungry. There was no strict calorie counting involved; all you have to do is eat less than you feel you normally do. As do many other people, I sometimes fast 2 times Monday through Friday.

Easily Drop a Workout if You Just Slightly Reduce Calories

To balance out how many calories you use when exercising, you really don’t have to drastically reduce your daily caloric intake. I believe that cutting only 100-200 calories every 24 hours will work. If you combine this with walking more often and increasing recreational activities, you will achieve the same effect with one less trip to the gym. I actually believe you would be healthier in the long run as well. Consume fewer calories and increase your daily activity. Easy and effective.

Circumstances That Require More Workouts Per Week

Initially, you should exercise more often to lose your desired number of pounds, and after you reach your ideal weight you can decide how much you need to exercise to maintain your weight loss. If you need to sculpt your body for your job, for a race or for recreation, you will need to exercise a bit more often. However, these conditions are probably not what you need to do everyday.

It Doesn’t Hurt to Train a Little More In the Beginning

There is something to be said for building a base of strength your first 1-3 years of training. If you’re doing this, 5 days a week training is perfectly normal. Once you reach your goal, though, be sure to back off a bit. From that point forward it will be about getting leaner and stronger without having to live in the gym. A few strategic workouts per week can do the trick, especially if you walk a lot and stay active when you are not training.
