How many days per week should you train?

Turns out, more isn't always better.

Most women think they need to train 6-7 days a week to get toned.

But in reality, your body changes when it has the right balance of training, nutrition and recovery.

Because muscles don't grow while you're working out.

They grow while you're recovering from the workout and fueling your body correctly.

Which means training more than you can recover from often slows your progress.

Training 3 days per week

For most women over 30, this is the sweet spot.

It gives you enough training to:

• Lose body fat
• Build lean muscle
• Get stronger
• Stay consistent long term

Training 4 days per week

If you recover well and enjoy lifting, four sessions is a great option.

It allows you to:

• Increase training volume
• Build more strength
• Improve muscle definition

Don't forget your daily movement

• Strength training is the foundation.
• Walking is the habit.
• Aim for:
• 10,000-15,000 steps every day
• Increasing your NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) is one of the easiest ways to support fat loss without adding another workout.

What about cardio?

Standard Classes for Cardio is great for your heart and overall fitness.

Just remember though it shouldn't replace strength training.

A simple weekly plan looks like this:

• 2-3 strength sessions
• 10,000-15,000 steps every day
• 1-2 standard class cardio sessions if you enjoy them

Imagine six months from now...

You're stronger.

Your waist is smaller.

Your arms are more defined.

Your glutes are firmer.

And you never had to live in the gym.
