Ello,
This one’s for a specific group of people.
Not everyone.
But a LOT of you.
If you’ve:
Had time off training
Been inconsistent for a while
Restarted more times than you can count
or you’re “kind of training” but not really progressing
Then read on.

2–3 sessions p/w > 5–6 (for most people right now)
Training 5–6 days a week isn’t inherently bad.
It’s just bad timing for most people.
Especially if you’re:
Coming back after a long break
Juggling work, family, children, stress, poor sleep
or trying to rebuild a routine, not chase PBs
Your body does not need that much frequency to make progress.
Early progress doesn’t need high volume
When training isn’t fully ingrained yet, your body is highly sensitive to stimulus.
That means:
💪 Fewer sessions still work
🙌 Recovery happens faster
🔥 Progress comes quicker
In the first few months, 2–3 well-structured sessions can deliver:
muscle gain
fat loss
strength increases
…on par with much higher frequencies.
The difference between training 2/3 times instead of 5/6 times a week?
You’ll actually stick to it.
Recovery is where most people starting out give up
Most people don’t stop training because they’re lazy.
They stop because:
they’re constantly sore
constantly tired
constantly feeling behind
constantly “needing a rest week”
Training 5–6 days a week when your sleep, food, stress, and life aren’t dialled in just beats you up.
Then training starts to feel like:
a punishment
another thing on the to-do list
something you’re relieved to skip
That’s how consistency dies.
And when consistency dies, so do all your goals.
Not because you didn’t want it enough, but because you asked too much, too soon.
SUSTAINABILITY builds habits
Ask yourself this, honestly:
Can you do this schedule on:
a busy week?
a stressful week?
a week with social plans?
If the answer’s no, it’s not going to last.
2–3 sessions a week works because it’s easy to fit in.
Plus you’ll enjoy training more (which matters)
With proper spacing:
✅ sessions feel better
✅ lifts move better
✅ soreness is manageable
✅ motivation stays intact
People stick to training they ENJOY.
It shouldn’t feel like a chore.
Cheers,
