Times Per Week People Weight Train

So the results of the first poll for research have come in, this poll was to find out how many times per week people weight train.

Times Per Week People Weight Train

In total 33 people kindly took the poll over a two week period so we got a small but significant sample on how many times per week people weight train, so without further adue please find the results below.

The results are:

No one trains less than three times a week and as you can see the majority of people train three times a week with 12 results which is 36.36% of the total results.

Seven people train 4 times a week and 5 times a week which breaks down as 21.21% for each amount. Three people train six times a week at 9.09% of the total results and 4 people admit to training 7 or more times a week at 12.12%.

I am surprised at the amount of people that train for 7 or more times a week as this is what I would perceive as someone who is professional in their field. I used to train twice a day some days in the week when I was going through my fanatical stage not long after first starting weight lifting and this may be another reason.

Although the majority of people train for 3 times a week, the overall average is that people weight train for 4.39 times a week, to me this is the perfect number of times per week to train.

I see the average number of times people train per week as a good outcome as I expected the average to be around 4 to 5 times a week as bodybuilders do tend to train around 5 times a week and powerlifters tend to train around 4 times a week.
