How many days a week do you need to exercise to see the results?

As we enter the year 2022, it's easy to get swept up in the "new year, new you" mindset, filling your refrigerator with greens and setting your alarm for an early morning workout. But if your health only seems to last a few days or weeks, it may be time to reset and rethink your workout schedule.

Research shows that the best way to get real results is to be consistent in both your diet and workout routine. If you start a month with a workout routine that involves hours of exercise every day and a less-than-enjoyable diet, you are less likely to stick to your new habits.

Whether you want to lose weight or get in shape in 2022, we can help you reach your goals. Of course, you can't expect changes overnight, but how many days a week do you need to train to start seeing results? We spoke with Beachbody super trainer Megan Davis to find out.

The CDC recommends that adults get 150 minutes of exercise per week. As Davis mentions, this can be weight training, HIIT training, cardio, as well as just walking or moving around throughout the day.

If you're looking for workout inspiration, we have plenty. We've got the best exercises for blowing off belly fat, cardio that burns more calories than running, and treadmill workouts that are perfect for the gym. We also tried a dumbbell workout that's perfect for beginners, a 10-minute abs workout that has 65 million views, and a six-pack abs workout.

Megan Davis is a super trainer for Beachbody On Demand, which offers many on-demand and live workouts. She is also the creator of the online home workout and nutrition program, Muscle Burn Fat.
