Length and Frequency of Exercise: Conditions for Effectiveness
Joseph Pilates encouraged his followers to train 5-7 times a week. For those who have been engaged in this sport for a long time, such a schedule will do. But for beginners, 3 workouts per week is enough: the body must gradually get used to regular loads, not perceiving them as stress.
The optimal duration of exercise is 40-50 minutes. But it is necessary to train from the beginning to the end of the workout. Do not allow yourself to rest between exercises, options “I’ll sit for a while, and then continue,” – will not pass. If it is hard to do 40 minutes, it is better to reduce the time, but do exercises one after another, without breaks.
Have a great workout!
