I do weight lifting about 3 times a week and do cardio 2 times a week.How long will it take me to see obvious results?

If you have a good diet plan to back up this exercise routine, I would say a month or so.

There's a lot of factors involved, which you haven't given in detail, like what exactly your workout is, are you using the same routine every time you work out, or do you change it around. But normally, you "could" see results in about 6 weeks.

Don't wish for quick results. Body building takes years to reach serious results. The main things are to keep a solid routine, plenty of rest, a balanced nutrition(most important) and tough workouts. If you keep to these rules you will see obvious results in strength and body mass within a few months. Good luck!

OK Mikis,I respect your answer, but I believe you talking about extreme results. Chihuahuamomma, you giving answers that please, but it takes work, dedication and a lot of sweat... no matter what they eat or their program, there's a lot more involoved. 1month or so... is not the answer, it may be what they want to hear, but they need the proper nutrition, as well as the proper program that changes on a regular basis to work all the muscle groups, in order to see the results he or she is looking for!

With a proper diet and an exercise routine as described the person can see results in one month, I have. See a difference is the results they were looking for... that's all that was mentioned.

Still I think your answer is giving results that are or may not be the necessarily the "NORM", if you have be in this field and been educated in these problems, you would understand that every one is different, and everyone has different results. There a lot of diet aids and programs out there and unfortunately no matter what they brag... not every one has the same results. The same goes for exercise programs,. working out, every "body" is different... and we can't say exactly. what anyone's results will be... what they will achieve, unless we know, their weight, height, metabolism. Program, how much they are working out.

I give up.

Results in what areas? Weight loss? Muscle tone? Definition? Where are you starting from in terms of your structure, weight, where you do carry the weight, etc. Much of this will determine how quickly you will see results and what those results might be.

I brush my teeth every day. Several times even. How long until I see noticeable results?

Idiotic question? Sort of... maybe... but it's along the same lines. If you want results, shift your focus away from timetables of any sort and simply realize that your body is a machine and exercise is the motor oil that keeps it running properly.

For the rest of your life.

What shape were you teeth in to begin with? How long since you last brushed? Do you see your dentist regularly? You will likely see some difference right away, but other things will take time and perhaps extra effort... ;)

LOL... I agree, the body is a machine, and with consistent and proper care, the op will see results... some perhaps fairly early on, for something's it might take time, but the key is to make it just part of your ongoing lifestyle. What happens for some people is that if they don't see the results they are hoping for quickly enough, they give up and resume old, unhealthy habits.
