Q: How often should I exercise?
A: The general recommendation is at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, along with strength training exercises at least twice a week. However, this can vary based on individual goals and fitness levels.
Q: What’s the best diet for weight loss?
A: There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but generally, a balanced diet with a calorie deficit is effective for weight loss. Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and sugars.
Q: How long does it take to see fitness results?
A: This varies person to person, but typically, you might start noticing changes in energy levels and mood within a few weeks. Physical changes often become noticeable after 6-8 weeks of consistent exercise and proper nutrition.

A: Both have their benefits. Ideally, incorporate both into your routine. Cardio improves heart health and burns calories, while strength training builds muscle and boosts metabolism.
Q: How can I stay motivated?
A: Set realistic goals, track your progress, mix up your routine to avoid boredom, find a workout buddy, and remember to celebrate small victories along the way.
