Workout plan: Do you feel like your fitness routine lacks direction? Not sure how to structure your cardio and strength training sessions to get the best results? This four-week training program – designed specifically for women – will serve as both your personal coach and accountability partner, providing expert guidance and a rigorous schedule to help you stay on track. The best part? Most sessions are 20 minutes or less…but get ready to sweat!
Workout Plan for Your some Week Training Plan
How it works: Follow the training program to the letter, completing each strength training or cardio session on the designated day. If time permits, add a warm-up phase at the beginning and a cool-down phase at the end of your workout. (Remember to take rest days; your body needs them!)
Strength Training: The strength training component included in this four-week workout plan for women is short (only four exercises per session) but intense. By alternating upper and lower body movements in “supersets” — that is, performing two different exercises back-to-back with no rest in between — you’ll keep your heart rate up and maximize calorie expenditure while engaging every muscle in your body.
For each session: perform 12 to 15 repetitions of the first two exercises consecutively, then rest for 60 to 90 seconds; repeat this sequence for 2 to 3 sets. Then repeat the same process with the next two exercises. Make sure you use a weight that is heavy enough to fatigue your muscles at the end of each set. (Don’t skip the strength training sessions; lifting weights is how you’ll get all these benefits!)
Cardiovascular workouts
This training program breaks cardio into two components: steady-state cardio and interval training. On the weekends, you will perform a longer, moderate intensity session (walking, swimming, cycling, etc.) to maintain your activity level and improve your endurance; during the week, you will complete two interval training sessions.
Below you’ll find a four-week interval running program designed for the treadmill (although you can technically use any cardio machine – whether it’s a rower, bike, or elliptical). You’ll rely on your Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) – that is, the amount of effort you feel during exercise – rated on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 representing maximum effort). If the workout feels too easy, don’t hesitate to take on the suggested extra challenge.
Strength Workout plan 1
Dumbbell Press Squat
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a 5- to 8-pound dumbbell in each hand at shoulder level, palms facing forward (not shown). Squat down while extending your arms overhead. Lower and raise the arms to return to the starting position, then repeat the movement. Keep the weights overhead throughout the exercise.
Ball Push-Up
Adopt a push-up position: Place your hands on a stability ball shoulder-width apart, keeping your back straight and your abs tight. Lower your chest towards the ball, pointing your elbows out while keeping your abs tucked in and your head resting on your hips. Press back up to return to the starting position, then repeat the movement.
Which Workout Plan is Finest for Weight Loss?
If you want to lose weight, all your efforts should be focused on your diet. As we say in the Nerd Fitness Rebellion, “You can’t walk over your fork.” Yes, this means that if you fail to lose weight, it is because you are consuming too many calories compared to the amount you burn each day. I can almost guarantee you that it has nothing to do with your metabolism or your genetics. It’s just because you’re eating too much.
