This is why these quick workouts are not easy for you. But stick to it and you will definitely see the results of this workout plan without spending crazy hours in the gym. Good?

Your Training Plan

Here's how it works: Follow a training plan, do each strength or conditioning training on the specified day. If you have time, add a warm-up and chill at the beginning and end of your workout. (Do not forget to take a day off, your body needs it!)

Strength exercises:
The strength training included in this four-week training plan for women is short (only four exercises each) but intense. By changing the upper and lower body movements in the superset, which are two different sets of different exercises, between which you can without rest keep your heart rate elevated and burn as many calories as possible while training every muscle in the body. For each workout: do 12 to 15 repetitions of the first two exercises in a row, then rest for 60 to 90 seconds; Repeat for 2-3 sets. Repeat with the other two exercises. Remember to use enough heavy weights to exhaust your muscles at the end of the set. (Do not skip strength days, lifting weights gives you all these benefits.)

Cardio training:
This training plan divides cardio training into two parts: static cardio training and intervals. On the weekends you will train long, medium speed workouts (walking, swimming, cycling, etc.) to stay active and improve your endurance, and during the week you will train two intervals. Below you will find workouts that take place at four-week intervals for the treadmill (although you can technically use any fitness equipment, whether it is a rover, a bicycle or an elliptical). It will use your RPE frequency or training difficulties on a scale of 1-10 (10 most difficult). If the exercise seems too simple, try to add to the suggested challenge.

You will need:
5-8 pound dumbbells, stability ball, exercise bench (or high chair), barbell or weights (optional), ankle and arm weights (optional), treadmill or other type of fitness equipment (optional)
