How Often Should I Train? – A Brutally Honest Answer
You asked. Here’s the truth.
It’s not about how often you train – it’s about how honest you are with yourself.
💡 1. The real question isn’t frequency
Everyone wants the perfect number:
“3 times a week? 5? Twice a day?”
But here's the real issue:
👉 Are you consistent with what you already do?
If you can’t stick to 2 sessions a week, planning 6 is a joke.
📊 2. Here’s the no-BS breakdown
| Goal | Minimum | Optimal |
|---|---|---|
| General fitness | 2–3x/week | 3–4x/week |
| Fat loss | 3–5x/week | 4–6x/week |
| Muscle growth | 3x/week | 4–5x/week |
| Performance/sports | 4x/week | 5–6x/week |
🧠 But remember: quality > quantity
🔁 3. More important: What are you doing on the other days?
-
Are you walking, stretching, staying active?
-
Are you sleeping enough?
-
Are you fueling right?
Training 3 times a week with intention beats 6 half-assed sessions.
