Is it even possible (excluding the fact if someone does nothing but work out or work out for hours every day)?

Think about how well into learning a skill you would get with 6 weeks of consistent effort. The same is true of your body.
I did an 8 week body transformation when I was in my mid 20s. It’s achievable, but requires a great deal of discipline.
The program was a workout and meal plan. I worked out 5 days per week, 3 days were about 45-60 minutes of traditional lifting, and 2 days were more dynamic high intensity stuff.
After one month, I was definitely stronger and fitter but my body looked largely the same, maybe a little bulkier around the upper body. By the end of the second month, I had dropped 4 inches off my waist and about 15lbs, and I would say I was transformed. I kept on the program and ended up in probably the best shape of my life.
You lose weight in the kitchen, and gain muscle in the gym.
Calories in/calories out is still the end all be all. There is no magic pill or miracle workout that can “tone up your summer bod” unless you burn more calories than you eat.
I find it easiest to lose body fat when I eat a high protein diet (to avoid losing muscle mass and feeling full faster/longer) with a 20% caloric deficit, and just walking on an incline at a brisk-ish pace 3-4 times a week.
That’ll make me look leaner, but I’d still have to start weight training to get more defined muscles to show.
A 6 week training program, *alongside* a dietary change, can definitely bring some results, but it’s all for nothing if you don’t stay consistent afterwards. It’s a good start, though!
It very much depends on where you’re starting out, but 6 weeks of strict dieting and intense workouts could have a pretty striking impact on your body.
If you start out weighing 300lb you’re not going to come out 6 weeks later with 10% bodyfat and a 6 pack, but if you’re a few lb’s overweight and haven’t been doing any sort of workout routine you might end up looking much more athletic.
With something like strength training a lot of the improvement in muscle growth is within the first few weeks (‘newbie gains’) which will start to plateau after a few months. Weight loss is a long term project – even fully fasting, as in eating nothing, it took Angus Barbieri a bit over a year to drop 270lb, from 450 to 180.
Completele body recomp takes time. Its not a fast process. Some gains are visible after 6 weeks but you need more to actually get some real changes in your overall physique. If you need a P. T. (online coach) dont hesitate to DM me. I work for a very affordable price offering quality service.
I did just 50 pushups everyday for 3 years. The transformation was slow but i gained a noticeably good physique. The key is not volume but consistency. Do something that you can easily do for a really long time.
A lot of them just flat out lie. However, if you make a bunch of health and fitness changes (diet, exercise, daily activity, stress management, sleep, etc) all in the right direction at once you would barely recognize the way you feel in 6 weeks. The way you look would likely change noticeably too.
You can potentially see a big difference if you’re dedicated, but there are a couple key variables. One is your current fitness level. For example- if you’re chubby, you’ll see less noticeable difference than if you’re just a little thick. Also, diet is everything. The most overlooked aspect for most people is that fitness starts in the kitchen. Working out faithfully is hard enough, but fighting your ingrained cravings for unhealthy foods can be really tough.
