Is it effective to exercise once a week?
For many fitness whites, the question of whether fitness can be exercised every day has always existed. In theory, most times are more beneficial to muscle growth as long as the body can bear it. However, I will show you from the actual situation that it is most appropriate to practice several times a week.

Effect of different times of exercise per week (unified high-intensity strength training)

- 0 1 -

Weekly 1 time

Exercise once a week, the exercise effect is not obvious, muscle aches and fatigue appear every time, and you feel unwell 1-3 days after exercise, which is prone to injury accidents.

- 02 -

twice a week

Exercise twice a week can reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, but it has no obvious effect on muscles after exercise.

- 03 -

Three times a week.

Exercise three times a week, which has good muscle exercise effect and is not easy to get tired.

- 04 -

Exercise 4-5 times a week.

Exercise 4-5 times a week, the muscle exercise effect is better than 3 times a week, and there is no fatigue.

- 05 -

Exercise 6 to 7 times a week.

When you exercise 6-7 times a week, the effect of muscle exercise is similar to that of 4-5 times a week, but you are prone to exercise fatigue and injury.

How long is a training session appropriate?

It is generally recommended that a training time is 40-60 minutes. If this time is exceeded, a person's concentration will decline, which is mainly reflected in lack of concentration during training or fatigue during training.

If you want to achieve a certain effect, it is more appropriate to exercise 3-5 times a week, each time 1 hour. It is recommended to exercise every other day. However, this is only for muscle and strength training. If it is to reduce fat, it is advisable to exercise every day, with low exercise intensity (no residual fatigue). Personally, it is easy to form good exercise habits by exercising every day, which is very helpful for reducing fat.
