Sets, Reps, Rests


The Beginner Fat Loss Workout Plan incorporates diverse sets and reps to stimulate fat loss. Most exercises entail 8-12 reps per set, with 3 sets for each exercise. Maintaining a consistent pace between sets is crucial while also allowing sufficient rest to recuperate.


We suggest taking a 30-60 second break between each set to recover and catch your breath.


Cardio


To create a caloric deficit and promote fat loss, engaging in cardiovascular exercise is highly beneficial. Additionally, cardio plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.


Incorporated into your workout plan are 3 low-intensity, steady-state cardio sessions, each lasting 30 minutes. You have the option to perform this type of cardio on a treadmill, exercise bike, cross trainer, or even by taking a brisk walk outdoors. The aim is to maintain a consistent heart rate of 55% – 65% of your maximum heart rate for 30 minutes.


If you experience a plateau in your fat loss progress, you can consider increasing your cardio routine in one of two ways. You can either extend the duration of each cardio session or add additional cardio sessions to your weekly regimen.


Progress Tracking


Monitoring your progress is crucial in maintaining focus on your health and fitness goals.


Regarding your workout routine, we suggest documenting the weight lifted for each set and the number of reps completed during each session. It is optimal to observe an improvement in these numbers weekly. 


In terms of body composition, it is recommended to record your body weight and waist measurement at the beginning of each week. Ideally, these numbers should decrease weekly.


Accessories


We offer a wide range of workout accessories to elevate your fitness routine, including elbow or knee sleeves to keep your joints warm, lifting straps to increase your lifting capacity, and exercise-enhancing tools like an arm blaster or a back training grip. Whatever you are looking for, we have the accessories to elevate your workout experience
