Introduction
Welcome to your 50-day workout plan for fat loss. This plan is designed to help you burn fat, build strength, and sculpt your body. You may feel like your progress is slow at first, but don’t give up. With consistency and dedication, you will achieve your goals!
The Plan
This plan is meant to be enjoyed and is easy to modify to fit your schedule. You will alternate between three types of workouts: cardio, strength training, and rest days.
Your workout should take about 45 to 60 minutes each day. On rest days, you should still aim to move your body as much as possible, but no intense exercising. You can also use rest days to foam roll, stretch and practice yoga.
Here is a breakdown of the plan:
- Days 1-5: Cardio
- Days 6-20: Strength Training
- Days 21-25: Cardio
- Days 26-35: Strength Training
- Days 36-40: Cardio
- Days 41-50: Strength Training
Cardio
For your cardio sessions, focus on endurance-building exercises like jogging or biking. Aim to keep your heart rate elevated for the entire session. On average, you want to stay in the ‘fat-burning zone’ which is typically 80 – 85% of your max heart rate. Make sure to track how your body feels and modify your pace if it’s too intense.
Strength Training
For strength training, focus on using your body weight or light weights to build muscle. Thoroughly warm up before each session and focus on proper form rather than heavy weights. Research various exercises and make sure to hit every major muscle group.
