How long does it take to see results from exercise?

Results from exercising are visible in a week. The first week of working out yields the most dramatic results, though other gains may take longer. People can lose two pounds in their first week of exercising with the combination of healthy eating.

With the loss of water weight, a person could shed up to five pounds in their first week. Minor decreases in measurements are also noticeable. A healthy weight loss schedule is one to two pounds per week. Anything over that amount should be monitored by a health professional.
