How long does it take to see results from the gym if you are going 5 days a week?

Question

I’m starting to go to the gym. I plan on spending 1 1/2 hours a day for 5 days a week. I am also changing my diets — mainly plant-based. I weigh 200 pounds and am 5’3. How soon can I expect to see results? I just don’t want to discouraged if I don’t see anything change right away. Here’s what my tummy looks like now (my main problem area. Everything else is fine. I’m focusing on abs and cardio, and throwing in a few arm and leg exercises daily).

Answer

It takes about 4-6 weeks for you to notice a difference and about 8-10 for other people to notice.

Answer

In two weeks you’ll feel it. 
In 6 weeks you’ll see it. 
In 8 weeks other people will see it. 
There is little benefit to an hour and a half of exercise. You can get an efficient 30-45 minute exercise in and lose MORE weight. 
You need a plan. You cannot target fat loss, but you can target muscle building. 
Get 30 minutes of moderate to intense cardio and pair it with HIIT or strength training. 
8Fit is a good free app for starting HIIT. It starts very beginner friendly.

Answer

So, weight loss is a process. It’s not going to happen overnight so don’t expect it to. Also I would say focus on large muscle groups for strength training- like out of the 5 days, all should have cardio (like 30-45mins) and a little Ab work, but at least a few days a week should include strength training- arms, legs, back etc. if you are really committed to a solid plan that includes all of these things, you might start to notice your clothes getting loose around 3-4 weeks into it. Long term results take time, so make sure you don’t get discouraged! Congrats on your fitness journey!!

Answer

If your wanting to get toned cardio won't do much. I recommend doing weight training! You'll see better physical results.
