Question Posted Wednesday November 28 2007, 5:57 pm
[I know no one can give me a definate answer, I'm just looking for a vague estimation]
I'm a little bit chubby, not obese or anything [I'm naturally skinny I just eat too much and do no exercise]
So I went from doing no exercise and eating like a pig all the time to having track practice for an hour and a half 5 times a week, and eating well.
About how soon will I start seeing results? I only started Monday, but I can already feel my muscles toning up a little.

Volleyball2150 answered Wednesday November 28 2007, 10:00 pm: well I used to do track and I could see results (running lenghs) in about a month. But as for you, I'm guessing you want to lose a few pounds and gain more muscle?? Well if thats the case, then you'll probably see results in about 3-5 weeks. What helps is if you make a chart. So for example- for me its running lenghs....
Monday- 1 minute around the track
tuesday- 58 seconds around the track
wednesday- 55 seconds around the track...
etc etc etc
and FYI i'm talking about how much weight you can lift with your calves.
so if you make a chart, you will be able to see the changes and how much you've improved. It doesn't even have to be like every day. It could be like every week instead.
