When you combine a new exercise routine with an improved diet, you can totally transform your mind, body, and spirit in eight shorts weeks. Numerous studies indicate it takes 8 weeks to form a new habit, 66 days to be exact. According to Charles Duhigg, author of “The Power of Habit,” habits are not born but created.

Will the 10-week transformation work for everyone? Provided you adhere to our advice, 10 weeks can definitely deliver amazing results. If you can’t commit to four sessions a week, we find that 12-16 weeks is a more realistic time period.

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.

According to a McMaster University study, the average man, training four times a week for 10-12 weeks is able to gain around 3kg of muscle. It is widely agreed that 8-10 reps, for 5 sets, across a four-days-a-week-routine is most effective to help build noticeable muscle.

You can’t get fit in a month; however, you can start. Almost everyone harbors fitness goals and aspirations. While many health and diet programs offer a time limit — 30 days to your new body, for example — it is unrealistic to believe that all shapes and sizes can reach size zero in a month’s time.

To start your weight loss or fat loss journey, you need to create a calorie deficit by simply eating below your maintenance calories. For example, if your calorie deficit is 2000, then you need to eat around 1700 to 1800 calories per day and slowly you can reduce your calories to 1500.
