How many days a week should I workout to lose weight and tone?

How much weight you lose depends on the amount of exercise you’re willing to commit to and how closely you stick to your diet. If you really want to see results reflected on the scale and continue to make progress over time, you need to commit to working out at least four to five days per week.

Can you lose weight by just doing toning exercises?

First, you can burn just as many calories while working to increase muscle tone as you would on a bike or the elliptical. This is particularly the case with circuit training, where you are performing exercises back-to-back with minimal rest. The burn is especially strong if you use free weights, as opposed to machines.

What happens if I lift weights but don’t diet?

Lifting and doing strength training without adequate nutrition, especially without enough protein, can actually lead to loss of muscle tissue. Furthermore, if you aren’t eating right you won’t have the energy to do the workouts that lead to muscle gain.

Should you lose weight or tone first?

It depends on your body fat percentage (which most gym trainers will measure for free). If you’re living with obesity (over 25% body fat for a man or more than 32% body fat for a woman), aim to lose fat first. The higher your body fat percentage, the harder it is to gain muscle while minimizing fat gain.
