Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your body type, goals, weekly frequency and intensity of training sessions, which help determine when you will see results.  If you exercise in some form for 30 minutes a day, and incorporate aerobic and resistance training you should some results in 6-8 weeks. 

It depends on your goals.  Do you want more aerobic capacity, flexibility, endurance, strength or muscle mass?  Depending on your goals, you can target certain muscles and workout programs I provide to meet your goals.  Any type of exercise is good, but not all work the same muscles, so start out slow and progress every 4-6 weeks.

There is no set number of times, but you should exercise in some form 30 minutes a day.  If you are following a training program with weights, you can have a routine that is 2 days on and one day off, or 3 days on and two days off.  With the days off, you can perform 30 minutes or more of cardio.

Everybody's body type is different, but weight gain is usually due to more caloric intake versus caloric output.  Having the right diet and starting a training program can start you on the right path.  If you have never worked out start out slowly, even walking, using a treadmill or rower.  Then focus on a stabilization endurance program adding weights and then progress to a strength endurance training program which will burn more calories.  To burn more fat, not calories you need low to moderate-intensity exercise for 30-60 minutes.  You can't turn fat into muscle.  You can lose the fat and improve your strength at the same time with the right exercises and/or training program.  And you need a good nights sleep of 7-8 hours.

Depending on your injury you should first consult your physician before exercising.  Some injuries require rest while others will allow for stretching, flexibility and low intensity weight training.

There are many exercises you can do without equipment such as pushups, situps and many flexibility, core, balance and plyometric exercises at home.  Using a chair for some routines can help strengthen and stretch your muscles.  So don't forego working out just because you don't have access to equipment.  Some of my exercise videos are without using equipment.

You should have some food in you such as carbohydrates and some protein one hour before exercising plus plenty of fluids.  It is also important to consume some carbohydrates within 30 minutes of exercising.  Remember to also replenish with fluids during and after exercising.
