The answer varies per person depending on one’s genetics, fitness level, hormones and diet. An optimal strength training routine is 2 to 3 times a week, targeting all major muscle groups, performing 3 sets of each exercise to the point of muscle fatigue along with an adequate amount of protein in your diet. Muscle growth begins around week 4 from consistent weight training, however, it is generally not visible to the naked eye. 8 -12 weeks is the usual time period when people begin to notice the results of hypertrophy (muscle growth).

The good news is that it is never too late to make a difference in your physical health and we actually have quite a bit of control with how our bodies look and function.

Enjoyed a full weekend of fascial stretch therapy! Learning techniques that go beyond traditional stretching to unlock the power of our fascia. It's not just about muscles; our connective tissue is key to mobility and blood flow. Fascial Stretch Therapy decompresses, lengthens, and creates space in the fascia, impacting the whole body positively. From better sleep to reduced stress and injury prevention, FST is a game-changer for me and my clients. Let's supercharge that exercise recovery!
