4-Week Workout Program Details1. Gym Equipment Needed:A Set of Dumbbells. Most of the daily workouts require a set of dumbbells. Each weight training workout will have a recommended dumbbell weight, usually between 8-20 pounds. You want a weight heavy enough that your last few reps are a struggle, but you are still able to complete the workout with good form. Optional Exercise Equipment: Mini Loop Resistance Band. You can add a resistance band to the leg exercises to increase the intensity. These are the mini loop resistance bands I have (DISCOUNT CODE: NML). Foam Roller. A great way to release sore muscles post workout or to use on active recovery days. 2. Time Requirement:Varies from 20-45 minutes a day, 5-6 days per week. You can always take more rest days as needed! If you’re a runner and want to incorporate running into this full body workout plan, I suggest completing three of the strength training workouts each week. Choose three full body workouts OR choose:
You just want to make sure you are strength training your major muscle groups three times per week. Add running on the other days or add a run to arm days if time allows. 3. Fitness Level:Intermediate to advanced, with modifications offered for all fitness levels. If you’re a fitness beginner try starting with one of our 30-Day Beginner Workout Plans. If you need to adjust this plan for pregnancy/postpartum, modifications are noted next to the daily workouts to make this fitness plan accessible for all fitness levels. If I don’t recommend a workout for pregnancy, I’ve linked an alternative, pregnancy-friendly workout. 4. Cost:FREE! No sign up needed, this is a FREE Monthly Workout Plan.

Should I mix cardio and weight training to lose weight?Studies show that doing a combination of the two is best for overall health, increasing muscle and reducing body fat. If you want to do both cardio and weight training at 100% effort, then you can try doing them on separate days, allowing your body to recover in between.
How many days should I do cardio and strength training to lose weight?Perform cardio exercise three to five days a week for 30 to 60 minutes each session. Strength training. Perform two to three days a week of strength training exercises that involve all major muscle groups.
What is the best combination of cardio and strength training for weight loss?Increase your amount of cardio while weight lifting to increase the amount of caloric expenditure that you have. Decrease the amount of weight and increase the amount of reps will help you go for a slightly longer duration. Instead of squatting 200 pounds for 10 reps, try squatting 50 pounds for 20 or 25 reps.
What is a good gym schedule for weight loss?Here's the basic breakdown of what you'll be doing:
Strength training three days a week, one hour per session. High-intensity interval training one day a week, 20 minutes per session. Steady-state cardio one day a week, 35 to 45 minutes per session. Two days of active recovery.
