Creating a Home Workout Routine
Creating a personalized home workout routine is the key to beating stubborn fat. The goal should be to have it fit into your weekly schedule and to focus on different types of exercises. Start by choosing 3-4 days of exercise throughout the week – it could be Monday, Wednesday, Friday and/or Saturday, for example. Then, choose the days when you will focus on aerobic exercises and days when you will focus on strength training. For example, you could do aerobic exercises like jogging on Monday and Wednesday, and strength training exercises like bodyweight squats on Fridays and Saturdays.
Finally, dedicate the remaining days in the week for rest. This is an important part of the process as rest days allow your body to adapt and recover from the hard work you do for your home workouts.
Types of Home Workouts

The best forms of exercises for home include bodyweight exercises such as push-ups, squats, sit-ups etc. You can also rely on resistance bands for strength training exercises. You can also purchase home gym equipment like dumbbells and a pull-up bar or resistance machines if you have the budget to do so.

Nutrition Plan
Proper nutrition is key for losing fat. The focus should be on reducing your calorie intake and choosing healthier, unprocessed foods. Make sure that your meals include a variety of proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the suitable proportions.
To start, keep a food diary by jotting down everything you eat and drink during the day. This will help you identify foods that can be modified or replaced with healthier alternatives. Also, it is important to stay hydrated. Drink up to 2-3 litres of water per day, and other calorie-free drinks such as herbal tea or plain tea/coffee. Finally, try to avoid sugar or processed meals as much as possible as they have a lot of hidden calories.
