Every little bit counts, but I will tell you why I believe 6 months is a sweet spot!
So many people try exercising and/or eating better for a
month or two then give up. They spend their whole life changing from
one program to another, one diet to another. Yet, here they are
years later doing the same circle of no lasting results.

It's the same cycle year after year.
Your body goes through different cycles as it is making changes. After
a couple months you will have certain changes. You switch things around as you progress but with the same person helping you. The person who is
helping you exercise gets to know you. They watch your body making
changes and they learn your good and bad food and exercise habits.
Your trainer who knows you will know what to switch up to help you move
forward towards your next level of your goal.

Don't quit before you are ready for the next breakthrough. During a 6 month time frame you see all sorts of changes at different times.....take it to a year and you will
be even happier at what your body can be. But you have to stick with
something. It's just the truth of what it takes. After a certain
amount of time it is time to add more weights or switch angles on certain
movements to adjust to the changes. If you don't know what to do next, you can give up or build your body the wrong way and get bigger.... YES you can get wider and thicker in spots if you do exercises or weights in certain ways.
If you are not willing to commit to yourself and to a workout program
for at least 6 months then your expectations of results you have needs
to be lowered. That is the truth of the matter. It's reality if you
have big changes to make.
You will see one day. wow...my triceps look toned...then one day. Oh
wow.. I see my butt is better now...then one day...I see my ab
muscles...then one day...my thighs don't rub anymore.. It is actually
exciting for you if you stick with it to see the great changes that can
be made. All body parts don't change at once...it's going to come off
however your body is going to release it...a spot here a spot there a
new change etc. Then within 6 months you should see a big change as a
new you....and keep going and changes still change and things still lift
and tone.
If you have ever been through a weight loss change and stuck to it for
6 months or a year, you know how you see different changes every few
weeks or months. You won't get all your results in 1 month. It just
does not happen that way. Unless you have only a few pounds to lose.
Even at that, if you want definition in your body and to gain strength to
have more strength and endurance in your everyday life, it won't
happen in a month. You need to get to the changes and results you are
looking for and then learn how to keep it. You need to learn how to
maintain your best results. That is VERY important.
If you change every few months, then stop all together then start up
again, then stop again, you will make no progress. You will spend you
whole life being in the "I want to lose weight" mode. That is a life
style. Wouldn't you like a better life style? It is said all over that to
stay in shape and be healthy it is a "lifestyle". Make it a way of living.
When you go up and down and quit when you don't see instant results
and refuse to make the changes "You KNOW" you need to do....that is
a lifestyle. Which life style do you want? A positive healthy one that
lasts or a negative complaining one that lasts. If you have kids, do you
want your kids to learn that a life style of complaining about your body
is healthy? Be a good example to them. Show them you can commit to
yourself for the good. Let them see that you feel you are worthy to
take care of you and that you should.
What a great thing for them to learn.

At some point you have to make the time and effort. That is a FACT! So, why should you dedicate yourself for 6 (six) months to a specific
exercise studio or trainer? In 6 months you can look and feel better or stay the same....It's your choice!
