As a beginner, your body stays in a state of muscle protein synthesis for longer, up to 48hrs as an example, whereas an experienced person’s body would only maintain this for 24. This ability or ‘state’ is referred to in the fitness world as ‘noobie gains’, essentially it means as a beginner, you can make progress quicker and easier than you will later. Aiming to work out 3 times a week when starting out is a great target, as recovery is just as important as stimulus. More important however, is your ability to stick to your program. Consistency is the most important thing here. Pick a plan that you can stick to. My programs offer a recommendation of how to schedule your workouts as well in the program itself.

It really doesn’t matter. Everyone will feel differently, find a time where you consistently feel good, and do it then. Bottom line, whatever, whenever allows you to keep consistent with working out over a long period, that’s the best time for you to workout.

Workouts in my programs last for around an hour on average.

Warming up for a workout is often done wastefully, in my programs and as shown in the video workout guides, our warm-ups are specific to the work we’re about to perform, with quick, efficient warm-ups performed shortly before working a muscle group. There are no elaborate, time consuming boring warm-ups.

Workout Ways programs currently do not have specific focus on cardio, though I do recommend pursuing cardio in addition to my programs. An app called ‘couch to 5k’ is good for getting started.

Your body doesn’t know what you’re lifting. It just acts and reacts to a stimulus, it doesn’t matter what causes it. That said, weights offer some desirable advantages in terms of ‘progressive overload’. The ease at which you can increase the stimulus by adjusting weight without adjusting rep ranges is optimal for goal-focused training. However bodyweight training has advantages such as being able to perform almost anywhere, which helps with the most important factor, consistency.

All of my programs contain a glossary that lists and explains any fitness terminology.

Your rest days are extremely important for recovery and muscle growth. You grow while resting, not while working, so be as strict with your rest days as you are with your workouts, they matter just as much. Your program will have a recommendation from me of when to implement rest days.

Motivation will come as a natural result of seeing progress, which can take many months, this is why it’s so important that you track your workouts, so that you can look back on how far you’ve progressed. Remember though you have to put in effort first to enjoy the results, waiting around for motivation to hit you won’t work. Your desire to change and improve IS your motivation. With my programs, you can rest assured that you have an efficient, concise road forward.
