Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions to help you
1
What should I wear to the gym?
Whatever makes you comfortable.
​
Gym clothes should be made from breathable, quick dry, moisture-wicking fabrics to move trapped sweat and heat from the body to keep you cool and comfortable. Lightweight clothing is also important to prevent overheating. Heavy clothes cause faster fatigue, shorter workouts, and less efficiency throughout.
2
How often should I work out?
As many times as your schedule can allow. In the beginning it is important to start off slow and build a good routine so 1 or 2 times per week is enough. The gap between 0 and 1 session is infinitely bigger than 1 and 2. The more you go the better but, in the beginning, just focus on going once.
3
What type of exercise is best for weight loss?
Both strength training and cardiovascular activity can aid this. However, it is more important to frame exercise as a means of gaining strength and stamina, than to fixate upon the weight loss benefits. The main driver in weight loss is nutrition.
4
How long should my workouts be?
There is no optimal duration. Between 60-90 minutes would be the average but if you only have time for 20 minutes, that is better than 0 minutes.
5
Can I still work out if I have an injury or health condition?
Almost anyone, at any age, can do some type of physical activity. You can still exercise even if you have a health condition like heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain, high blood pressure, or diabetes. In fact, physical activity may help. Programs are adjusted to suit your own abilties.
6
How quickly will I see results?
As a rough guide, you'll probably notice some initial changes in the first four to six weeks, but longer-term changes (what you're working toward) will often take around eight to 12 weeks. The good news is that you're likely to start feeling better quickly
