In my professional and personal experience, the higher the frequency, the more dramatic and longer lasting your results are
First things first, calories play a major part in weight loss and here's why. There are 3500 calories per pound of body fat. That theoretically would mean that if you were to drop 500 calories per day for 7 days via either diet, exercise or combination of the two, you would lose a pound a week. So you can see with that in mind, the more often you train, the more likely you are to drop the weight
I think it's now pretty obvious how higher frequencies of training can directly correlate with your success in the gym!
Truth be told though, there are a lot more factors to weight loss than just exercising and diet
Things that can also affect how quickly you LOSE or GAIN weight are:-
- Hormonal imbalances
- Lack of sleep
- Stress from work or other
All three kinda go hand in hand, so sometimes it makes sense to talk to your trainer or training buddy about what you can do to relieve these problem.The internet is not always a great resource for answers. Ask a professional or someone else who has experience in weight loss
As a basic format for weight loss, you will need 3-4 workouts per week, usually lasting at least 45 minutes in length
The session should consist of:-
- A warmup
- 2-3 weight lifting complexes consisting of at least one big compound move
- High intensity interval training using CV and resistance
- Cooldown and stretch
Keep rest between sets short and work HARD!
