What is Success in training?! ๐ฅ
Achieving your fitness goals isnโt just about hitting the gym once in a while or sticking to a diet for a few weeks. Itโs about consistent effort and dedication over time. ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ช
โจ ๐๐๐จ๐ช๐ก๐ฉ๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ค๐ช๐๐ ๐พ๐ค๐ข๐ข๐๐ฉ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ โจ Research shows that regular physical activity can significantly improve health and fitness levels. According to a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, consistent exercise leads to better muscle strength, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being (Garber et al., 2011).
But it doesnโt stop there! Maintaining these results requires ongoing commitment. A study in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine highlights that long-term adherence to exercise routines is crucial for sustaining the benefits (Fletcher et al., 2018).

The relationship between the duration of a workout and its desired outcome is a critical aspect of exercise science and fitness programming. The appropriate length of a workout can vary significantly depending on the individualโs goals, whether they aim to improve cardiovascular fitness, build muscle, lose weight, or enhance overall health.
Below, we explore these relationships with reference to scientific research.
Muscle Building (Hypertrophy)
When the goal is to build muscle, the duration of the workout can be influenced by the volume of training, which includes the number of sets, repetitions, and exercises performed. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) suggests that muscle hypertrophy can be achieved with 3 to 6 sets of 6 to 12 repetitions for each exercise, with workout durations typically ranging from 45 to 90 minutes (American College of Sports Medicine, 2009). Research indicates that while shorter, high-intensity workouts can be effective, longer sessions that allow for adequate rest between sets may optimize muscle growth (Schoenfeld et al., 2016).
Weight Loss
For weight loss, the duration and intensity of workouts can play a significant role. The ACSM recommends 150 to 250 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week to prevent weight gain and more than 250 minutes per week to promote significant weight loss (Donnelly et al., 2009). High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has also been shown to be particularly effective for burning calories and improving metabolic health in shorter durations (Gibala et al., 2012). For example, HIIT sessions of 20-30 minutes can yield substantial improvements in body composition and cardiovascular fitness.
General Health and Well-being
For general health and well-being, a balanced approach that includes a mix of aerobic and resistance training is often recommended. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week (World Health Organization, 2020).
