This varies according to each person. The essential thing is to be consistent, so you must a pick a time of the day that works best for you (and able to maintain of course). Preferably, choose a time where you are at your peak mentally & physically

In general, women have smaller bones (skeletal size) & less muscles than men, making it harder for women to ‘bulk up’ . Women do hot have large amounts of testosterone to gain significant muscle mass to appear bulky…so not to worry ladies, add some weights to your workouts!

This varies according to your fitness goal.

a) If your fitness goal is to increase aerobic endurance, then you should do cardio first
b) If your fitness goal it is to increase muscular strength, then you should do weight training first. Doing cardio first will deplete your energy, as well as fatigue your muscles for the strength training part
c) If your fitness goal is to lose weight (fat), then you should do weight training first. During strength training, your body will switch from glucose to fat as its primary energy source, which in turn is what you will burn (mostly) during the cardio part

Unfortunately Not! You cannot choose where your body will lose fat, but you can ‘sculpt’ your body, and work on your troublesome areas to make them look more toned and refined

In general, it will take at least a few weeks to see ‘real’ results. The results will be minimal at first, but will become more noticeable after 1-2 months.  Please keep in mind that there are several factors that may alter these results, such as body type, weight, age, genetics, medical condition, etc. Hence, all individuals will not lose the same amount of weight. For a healthy weight loss, it is recommended to lose half a pound to 2 pounds a week!

Yes it could happen! You may hit a ‘plateau’ because
a) you have been doing the same exercise routine for too long;
b) level of training intensity is too low, etc. but do not despair!

There are a few ‘tricks’ to overcome a plateau:

       1. Increase Training Intensity (make your muscles work harder rather than longer) without compromising your form

       2. Vary your exercise routine by changing order of exercises. That way your muscle will fatigue in a different way instead of fatiguing in the same way every time

       3. Change workout program entirely. That way you ‘shock’ your body and it does not adapt to a specific exercise routine

       4. Get more rest

       5. Improve your diet

Unfortunately it is not that simple! You cannot expect to lose weight only by exercising while ignoring your diet. A ‘healthy diet’ must become an integral part of your daily routine. To be (and stay) healthy, one must eat properly, as well as exercise regularly.
