How often should I work out?

Asked a year ago
The frequency of your workouts depends on various factors such as your fitness level, goals, and available time. Generally, it is recommended to engage in moderate to intense exercise for at least 150 minutes per week. This can be divided into multiple sessions of 30-60 minutes each. For muscle-building and strength goals, it is ideal to train each muscle group 2-3 times per week with a day or two of rest in between for recovery. However, remember that recovery is crucial for muscle growth, so listen to your body and avoid overtraining. Tailor your workout frequency to fit your schedule and abilities, but always prioritize consistency, proper technique, and gradual progression for optimal results.
