And if you exercise regularly, over time you will gain even more fitness benefits. “At 6 to 8 weeks, you can definitely notice some changes,” said Logie, “and in 3 to 4 months you can do a pretty good overhaul to your health and fitness.” Strength-specific results take about the same amount of time.

The time it takes to get in shape depends on individual goals, which could include strength, endurance, weight loss, body fat loss, etc. Increasing your physical activity level is likely to make you feel better before you see noticeable results.

Read More »Factors that affect fitness These, of course, are general guidelines. Many things along the way can speed up or slow down your progress. “How fit you are when you get started is one factor that I’ve personally seen affect people’s individual results timeline,” said Clayton. The type of exercise you choose also matters, and it will affect you differently if you are a beginner or coming off an illness or injury. “If you’re not comfortable with exercise, or perhaps are being cautious because of an injury, you are going to get different results from walking for 90 minutes per day than someone who is already used to exercise and decided to try a HIIT [high-intensity interval training] program,” said Kingsford. Beginners, though, may progress faster simply because they are starting lower down the fitness ladder and require less exercise to challenge their body. “Beginners see huge jumps in strength across the board every week with proper training,” said Fauci. Of course, what you put into an exercise program also determines what you get out of it. On a perceived exertion scale of 1 to 10, “if you only feel comfortable exercising at a level 6, you are going to get different results than someone who is comfortable exercising at a level 9,” said Kingsford. In a 2007 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers placed women who were sedentary, or with overweight or obesity, into three groups — exercising at 50%, 100%, or 150% of the recommended energy expenditure level. Women who worked out at the highest intensity level saw an 8% improvement in their cardiovascular fitness after 6 months. Those at the lowest intensity level saw a 4% increase in fitness. An 8% increase in fitness doesn’t seem like a lot, but if you’ve been inactive for a long time, it can be huge. If you crank up the intensity even more, you’ll get faster results. “We see fitness results from our students within about 2 weeks,” Tina Angelotti, fitness director of Krav Maga Worldwide, told Healthline. “Our students work at very high levels of intensity in our Krav Maga self-defense, fitness, and fight classes.” If you are a beginner, or new to higher-intensity workouts, you might need to work up to this level. “If you work too hard too soon, you risk injury or quitting from the stress,” said Clayton. “But if you don’t work hard enough, you won’t see results. So find your balance and know that healthy and fit is not a race nor a destination.” Getting out of shape Once your exercise routine becomes a habit, you’ll probably find that it’s easier to stick with it. But an injury, illness, or even life can easily derail your workouts. “Life circumstances will always throw you off your plan at some point,” said Rob Williams, performance coach and trainer for EAS Sports Nutrition, “but the more important thing is to get back to your program and be in it for the long run.” Often, cardiovascular fitness is the first to go. “If you’re highly trained and decide to take a break from exercise, your cardio is going to be the first and fastest to decline. It will drop significantly after only a few weeks of inactivity,” Tyler Spraul, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and the head trainer at Exercise.com, told Healthline. According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), physiological changes — like blood lipoproteins, or the ability to use glucose for energy and body composition — can occur 1 or 2 weeks after you stop exercising. A 1984 study in the Journal of Applied Physiology: Respiratory, Environmental and Exercise Physiology also found that when endurance athletes stopped training, their VO2 max dropped by 7% within the first 21 days of inactivity. This stabilized after 56 days of no exercise. And after 84 days of inactivity, the athletes still had a higher VO2 max than people who had never trained. Muscle strength may last longer during a break. A 2000 study in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that young people lost just 8% of their strength after 31 weeks of inactivity. Older people lost 14% of their strength during that time. Most of the loss of strength occurred between 12 and 31 weeks. Even small breaks may not affect your overall strength progress. In a 2011 study in Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, beginners who took a 3-week break in the middle of a 15-week bench press program achieved similar results by the end of the study as beginners who worked out the entire way through. So once you build a foundation of strength, it stays with you. “When you undergo resistance training, you permanently change the physiology of your muscle cells — even if you stop training for long periods of time,” said Fauci. “This makes the process of regaining strength and size after a long break from the gym much quicker.” This is just as true for overall fitness. “Everyone is going to be different when it comes to seeing results after a break from working out,” said Williams. “But the longer and more consistent you’ve been working out and training, the less of an impact a break will have on you.”
