How long will it take for me to get in shape?

117 Comments 11 September 2009

This is one of the most frequently asked fitness questions that I get. Of course we all want to know how fast we can get in shape and how quickly we can transform our bodies. The most realistic answer that I can give you without actually having evaluated your individual fitness level and starting point is that your progress will be linked directly to your level of effort. If you are serious about getting fit, then it is absolutely vital that you educate yourself on the basics of training and diet. BodyRock.Tv is loaded with articles and information about diet and efficient ways to train your body that will give you an incredible starting advantage over the majority of people who want to get fit but don’t have any of the workouts or information they need to make an effective start. Getting fit and then staying there is a life long journey – not a one way ticket. No matter where you are starting from it’s a tough process – but when you focus on the journey – the little workout by workout victories – you can actually learn to start enjoying fitness for what it is – an important part of your life. There are no short cuts and you have to realize that getting the body you want takes time and effort. I started to take my fitness seriously about a year ago and I am still not where I would like to be. If you are serious about getting the body you want, then you have to be prepared for the life long journey. There is always room for improvement and even if you achieve your goal, you have to work just as hard to maintain it. The next time you catch yourself wondering how long it will take you to reach your fitness goals don’t sweat it – it’s a life long journey to success.

    Dear zuzanna,
    I have been watching your vids from the day 1. And I love all ure vids. I work out on a regular basis 5-6 times a week. I work out two diff muscles groups everytime I work out. And I do cardio as well. But I have a question for you. Is it ok for me to train my abs every day.

    Zuzana,

    thank you a lot for your answer! You are right.
    My biggest mistake is to work too much. I will have to be careful about that, once or twice already happened that I did over-trained myself.
    Too much of enthusiasm have to be under control.
    How many workouts have you in one day? One, two, maybe three? I am so curious about that :).
    Take care, I am reading your site on a daily bases,

    Best wishes,

    Tina

    Thanks for the advice–I will definitely be incorporating more unilateral movements into my routines from now on–thanks again!

    Thanks for your answer Zuzana. I think I will reduce my number of workouts too, because I do not want to be over-trainer again. It will not be easy, but I will try! :)
    The very difficult thing for me will be to choose between all these great workouts of yours! Each day something different, I think. And I have to pay attention to those exercise where I want to improve myself, such as – dive bomber push-ups, burpees,…!

    Best wishes,

    Tina

    HELLO ZUZANA!
    I love your website and think you have an amazing body. You are very inspiring.
    I have been working out 5 days a week for about 4 months now and I can FEEL a difference in my muscles but do NOT see the muscle tone yet. I am 5’8 and 130 pounds. Do you think I need to lose a few more pounds of body fat to be able to see the tone, or just work out harder?
    Perhaps diet is the issue, I eat clean as well, take my healthy fats and protein.

    Are there any supplements you recommend I take to burn body fat for more definition? Or should I be doing more cardio?

    It it is all a bit confusing, hope you can help me out! Thank you!!!

    Keep up the amazing work.

    Great post Dominic!!
    It´s all true and my case is the same as yours, but i don´t have any injury, but as you, I have to eat a lot to gain muscle, and I´ve been all my life working a lot!!

  9. fitgirl says:

    Why do you need to lose weight Zuzana, your body is fine the way it is.

    Thanks FlaviaRJ!

    I almost have to make myself eat often and properly. The quick protein shakes help. I am amazed this time around at how quickly my body has responded to the weight lifting – and it is correct eating that makes the difference. I keep adding weight and reps…I did another set today “just because”. :) It is satisfying to see great progress in the mirror.

    I was starving my muscles all those years. I would often work right through mealtimes out in the fields or on the road, skipping lunches all the time and never snacking – going all day on breakfast until a late supper of peanut butter sandwiches. Gotta eat right. number one secret after lifting weights. Do them both and you can’t lose.
