This question can not be answered on a general basis. It all depends on what type you are and how the training works for you. The overall package plays an important role in this case. Training, nutrition and motivation must be right, then the muscles will grow faster. One can say that after 12-16 weeks with regular training (2-4x per week) a change can be seen.

I started training to lose weight, but now I have more weight. How does it work?

If you start training, you will quickly build muscle mass in the beginning. Muscles weigh more than fat.

Only a body analysis of the individual components (fat percentage, water percentage, bone mass and muscle mass) provides information about your change through the training.

How often do I have to train as a beginner?

Do training is better than not to do any training. As a beginner you should train on average about 3 times a week.

Increase your training slowly and in a controlled manner, then you will also have long-term success.

How important is proper nutrition in sports?

The right diet adapted to the sport is essential for your success. You don’t have to follow a strict diet every day, but you should change your diet to a healthy, balanced diet. Give the body what it needs. Food quality comes before quantity.


What are the best exercises for beginners?
