Should I work out 3 days a week or 5 days a week?
How many athletes do you know that work out only 3 days a week? Everybody I know (including some professional athletes) takes no more than one rest day a week, and varies their workouts so they don't beat up any one body part too much.

How many days a week should I work out?
Hi Leigh Ann, Actually, three days a week is the minimum - for OPTIMAL results, you need to work out more than that. I don't want to say you have to work out EVERY day, but I would aim for at least FIVE days a week. Also, for exercise to work, it needs to be done consistently, meaning don't skip weeks! Don't exercise on one week and be sedentary on the next! I think that working out many days a week is even more important for beginners like you, because if you're just starting out you really need to force your body to get used to being active. Just don't be too hard on yourself at first. Start with the simple, easy exercises, like walking and bike riding. Gradually work your way up. If a particular workout starts feeling too easy, up the intensity! Be sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, especially if you decide to work out outside when it's hot. As long as your exercise is consistent, you should see results quickly. I used to be overweight myself, but now my BMI is at a healthy 22 (last time I checked, anyway), and I think exercising consistently was what helped me go down to a healthy weight. Sometimes you hear people say that they can't lose weight even though they exercise, and I think one reason why this happens sometimes is because although they exercise, they don't exercise consistently enough. The more frequently you do it, the better. I think my weight decreased the most when I worked out every day. Of course, diet is also important. Be sure you eat healthy. Stay away from trans fat and saturated fat, and aim for foods high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Don't eat too much late at night because that's when your metabolism is slow. I hope this helps! Good luck with your fitness goals :)

Should I work out EVERY day?
You will be fine with a workout every other day. The key is to workout about three times a week. Your body needs time to recover from your workouts. Plus when you are working out you release toxins into your blood stream. If you drink lots of water during and after a workout and leave a day in between it will be more effective than every day. If you want to look at a really great eating plan then read the eBook on http://homeremediesnaturallyplus.com/weightloss.php Its a lifestyle thing, more than a diet and gives you good guidance on the balance of fitness and eating. Best of Luck with your studies you are doing the right thing.
I'm a skinny guy, how many days per week should I workout?
I am assuming that you want to gain weight.So first of you need to eat beyond your maintenance calories. Don't increase your calories immediately by high amount , increase in increments of 200–300 calories per week. Try to eat calorie dense foods so you won't have to eat a lot.Now coming to workout.Workout atleast twice a week and atmost four times a week. Your workout sessions need to be short 45–60 mins.You need to keep 3–4 rest days as your body needs to recover in order to grow. If body doesn't recover properly then you won't grow.You also need to sleep atleast 6 hours per day.Eat,Sleep,Lift,Rest,RepeatHope it helps.
How many days should I work out to lose weight?
If you want to lose weight, your focus should be on diet because you can't out exercise a bad diet. For example if you run a marathon then you burn about 3000 calories on average (it usually takes about 4 to 5 hours for average fit person) and then you can scarf down a ihop or a big diner's meal afterwards or a fast food combo afterwards in 30 min with easily 3000 to 5000 calories. It is a lot easier to take in calories than burning calories via exercise.If you are tracking your calorie intake and making sure that you are taking in appropriate amount of calories and macros for safe and healthy weight loss then if you are a beginner, you can start with full body 2o to 30 min workout 3 times a week as a start than gradually increase your activity level. You can also just walk more or play some sports. If you want a body weight only 30 min strength and cardio focused HIIT workout, you can check out this workout as an example:For more full body workouts for free, you can check out them out below:4 min tabata HIIT training: typically repeat 3 to 5 times or add a the end of your weight training as a burn out. https://www.youtube.com/playlist...other quick fast loss workouts: great to add at the end of your weight training for fast results or repeat 3 to 5 times for a 20 min workout. https://www.youtube.com/playlist...20 to 40 min fat loss workouts (circuits or HIIT):https://www.youtube.com/playlist...4 min ab workouts: best to be done at the end of your weight training or HIIT cardio.https://www.youtube.com/playlist...stretch and flexibility workouts: best for warm up, cool down, or rest day stretch for better recovery:https://www.youtube.com/playlist...dumbbell workouts: beginner dumbbell full body tutorials https://www.youtube.com/playlist...resistance band workouts: if no access to dumbbells, resistance bands for full body toning. https://www.youtube.com/playlist...hopefully this helps :-)
How many hours a day should you work out?
Is this the type of body you’re looking for? If so, you do not really have to do hours of training each day.Why do bodybuilder, models and athletes workout a few hours a day?Bodybuilders, models and athletes work out a few hours a day because their job requires them to.For bodybuilders, some train the same muscle group at least twice to maximize fatigue and gain muscle growth quickly, thus, their accumulative training sessions are longer.For athletes, there are two types of training they have to do. Firstly, they have to improve their endurance/speed and skills for their game. Secondly, they also have to do basic weight/resistance training to maintain/increase their muscle mass and strength, so that they are able to last through their required activity. Thus, these two training adds up to a few hours.For models, they spent time doing both cardio and weight lifting so as to maintain their curves.So do you need to workout a few hours a day as well?A general guideline for workout would be hitting at least 150 minutes of physical activity for general fitness, and that would be at least 30–45 minutes session of workout almost every other day. Unless you’re a paid professional athlete, most likely you won’t have to do so. Even a 30 minutes workout each day would suffice for most individuals. Moreover, if you are not watching your calories intake, long training hours can result in the loss of muscles (muscle catabolism).So how long do I need to spend in the weight room?Depends on the goals you are seeking for. If you’re looking to burn fats, HIIT exercises or circuit training are the best type of exercise you can opt for. Since they are high intensity in nature, a 30–45 minutes session each day would suffice. For weight lifting wise (depending on the crowd in the gym and your rest timing), it would usually take 45–60 minutes to complete your lifts.If you wish to know more fitness tips and sample workouts on how to achieve a beach body, check out SevenFitness, a Diet and Exercise Tips Blog.
