When it comes to exercise , be fit and develop muscle, How many times you have to work out your body?

[kitty71]

I mean I know there are many group muscles in your body. But I have heard that the different type of msucles need to be worked in an isolated way, each group muscle at different time or a different day as it is more effective or it is more effective if you lets say work all the group muscles at the same time in one routine only, done every other day.

So lets say if you work the muscles in an isolated way, to see results and really work all your body group muscles, how many times in a week for instance you have to work the abs, your legs, your body, your upper body, your inner body. One example, this is just an example, lets say abs 2 times a week, upper body 2 times a week, booty or legs 2 times a week and one day rest, as rest is super important.

When I mean develop muscle I mean not in a way to look like a body builder but to build muscle at least look fit if you are a woman, not looking like a monster either.

There are different training methods out there, but if people are going for just toned, then circuit training is usually better, but not the standard. When I worked out it was 4-5 days a week and I would do something like

Back and Biceps one day because those muscles compliment each other
Then the next day would be chest and triceps for the same reason
The third day would be legs or auxilary like forearms, shoulders, neck, etc.
The fourth day would be whatever I didn't do on the third.
Every day would include cardio and abs before going into the main workout.

Each muscle group has a particular workout that works the muscle and can "shock" the muscle if you are wanting it to grow more or lift more. Circuit training is a well rounded workout for 4-5 days. You work everything essentially, but usually it's not super heavy, but it can be. Cardio and abs are done every day. Abs heal really fast so you can work them a bit more.

Just my opinion though. Hope it helps!

Well thats were you have to research studies done and based on statistics you can make your assumptions as how many times. And make your programm. Thats shat other people are selling their programms for, each have their own ways doing things, so there is no clear answer to this question. Experiment and see

I train my glutes twice a week. Even that is a lot of work for me as I use heavier weights/higher resistance and do at least 6 different exercises. The other days are for cardio and planks. That's all I do. I am not interested in building muscle elsewhere. I know it's good for health but I also want to look feminine.

for me, i have to walk hard for 20 mins to start sweating. That is when the muscles pull body fat to burn as fuel.

when i was in good shape, 120#s, i would run 2-5 miles a day, 4-5 days a week.

i did not do situps, etc. i just ran and ran...

i was lean and had hard muscles, not big muscles.

no idea about gym routines...

I have just been doing sports for the last 25 years, and some mixed martial arts from time to time and that works well enough for me

never had a strict regime either, I just have fun with it

I think that varies from person to person. Some people just look at a weight and the grow muscular. Other guys can put in hrs. In the gym for minimal results.

I think it is about staying consistent.
It will take time depending on where you are in development.

[EaterPeter]

One area once a week. I see you're saying core and other group twice a week. That can be once a week. Other than that you seems to be on right track.

[EaterPeter]

Use a trainer if you can.

[EaterPeter]
