Fix Up My Body by Jackie O.

How Long Will It Take Me To Get Into Shape?

What’s up ya’ll? This is Jackie O., the First Lady of Fitness, Fashion, and Fun checking in! This week I am answering the question, “How long will it take me to get into shape?” I’m sure that you are not surprised that I get asked this question ALOT! The most honest reply is that it varies. Fitness is journey that occurs day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year. It requires dedication and persistence. It is not just about working out, it is also about what and how much you eat. Without a proper diet, you may find your hours of hard-work in the gym futile. The average person may start seeing results in as little as 6 weeks if they are exercising 4-5 times per week and sticking to a healthy diet.

To become truly fit is a life-long pursuit, not a couple weeks of exercise. It is not an easy journey. . .let’s face it. . if it was easy, everybody would be walking around looking like a Victoria’s Secret swimsuit model. However, the sacrifice and dedication are worth it, because as you workout you will find that you not only look better, but you feel better as well. Getting in shape in something that is well within your power – YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT TO DO IT!
