3 x 30 minutes = optimal amount

Our experience along with research have shown that a thirty minute workout suffices to awaken the body parts that are essential to the physical change we seek. For those of you who have had some experience with gyms, a 30 minute workout sounds surreal because convention tells us that we need at least 2 to 3 times that amount to notice results. Upon comparison of the two approaches it becomes immediately evident as to why Mrs.Sporty th offers the superior alternative. The 30 minute workout deals with net physical activity. During these 30 minutes the body is challenged the entire time, with no disturbances or breaks. In a conventional gym there are usually waiting times for machines, thus elongating the workout time but certainly not its efficiency. The Mrs.Sporty circle workout is testament to the statement that it is best to keep things short and simple.

Three times a week

We are often asked about the optimal amount of workouts a week. There is no precise answer to this question, however there are some good rules to go by: the optimal amount consists of three 30 minute workouts a week. However, it is not to be forgotten that dividing up your workouts regularly within the week is the most important element. It is best to work out every other day, no later than every third. That is not to say that it is forbidden to work out two or even three days in a row, but better not to make a habit of this. 

Effective Planning 

Why do we recommend this approach? Very simple: during a workout the body uses up its energy deposits that it seeks to refill as soon as possible during regeneration phases, especially during sleep. 

Since the body is an intelligent system it realizes that it must refill its energy deposits after a strenuous workout. Thus, after a workout the body will not only replenish its energy deposits but will store more energy so that when the body experiences physical exercise for the next time it will be better prepared and can perform better than the times past. This change does not happen overnight but rather requires dedicated time and effort. If the routine is upheld you will be able to slowly start to notice differences until one day you realize how much your body and its physical dexterity has improved. It is imperative to remember that regularity in physical exercise is key because even one session a week will ensure that the body remains constant at a certain level of fitness and wellbeing. On the other side of the spectrum it is also not recommended to work out too often in the beginning because the body will go into shock and most likely will not have sufficient time to replenish its energy deposits which in turn might not bring the desired results that you worked for hard for.
