This is the ultimate 4-week workout plan to lose weight at home

Finding a workout plan that suits your individual needs can be a pain.

Even the ones that do let you work out from home force you to use equipment you just don’t have (or in some cases haven’t even heard of).

Luckily, we’re here to give you exactly what you need – a 4-week workout plan from home that’s as simple as it is effective.

You don’t need fancy gym wear or even equipment.

All you need is this plan, a little motivation and enough time to commit to 3 weekly home workouts.

In four short weeks you’ll be able to fit in that dress, run that mile and wear that smile you’ve been missing for so long.

How does the plan work?

Over the next month you’ll be working out just 3 times per week.

There’s an optional fourth session in there if you want it – but the core of the program revolves around 3 resistance-based circuit workouts.

The idea is for you to take part in two circuits each workout.

Both circuits are 15 minutes long – that’s 30 minutes of furious fat burning each time you clear the front room and get down to work.

How you approach your work out is up to you.

You can start off light and ramp up the effort as your confidence builds… or you can use this 4-week workout plan for weight loss as an intense short-term fat burner.

You can go at your own pace and take little breaks if you must – but you will get out what you put in, so try to push yourself for the best results.

We’ve given you a program overview below showing you what this 4-week workout plan for weight loss might look like. It’s only a guide though, so don’t worry too much about the actual days you take part in exercise – fit it in wherever you can.

What do you need to take part in this program?

Nothing.

Providing you’ve got space in your living room, you’re good to go.

Wear clothing that isn’t restrictive and feels comfortable when you get hot and sweaty. It doesn’t need to be gym gear, but it does help if its baggy and allows a good range of movement – sweat pants and a tee work well (and a good sports bra too if you need one).

Program overview

	Day 1	Day 2	Day 3	Day 4	Day 5	Day 6	Day 7
Week 1	Home workout 1	Optional cardio	Home workout 2	Rest	Home workout 1	Rest	Rest
Week 2	Home workout 2	Optional cardio	Home workout 1	Rest	Home workout 2	Rest	Rest
Week 3	Home workout 3	Optional cardio	Home workout 4	Rest	Home workout 3	Rest	Rest
Week 4	Home workout 4	Optional cardio	Home workout 3	Rest	Home workout 4	Rest	Rest

Over the next 4-weeks you’ll be hitting all major muscles hard… but with a strong and curvy emphasis on your booty, legs and tummy.

Set a timer for 15 minutes and go from one exercise to the next in a continuous circuit until the buzzer goes off. The idea is to complete as many total reps as you can by limiting your rest time.

Think strategy here.

If you set off too hard and too fast, you’ll burn out well before the 15 minutes is up. Go too slow and you’ll limit the benefits of the workout.

As the sessions pass on this 4-week workout for weight loss you’ll soon learn more about what your body can do.

Optional cardio

While 3 home workouts per week is enough to burn calories, tighten up problem areas and build fitness, cardio workouts are an added extra way to shred excess body fat.

We’ve added in one optional cardio workout each week for you to try if you have time. All you need to do is get outside and jog or walk at a pace that gets you feeling warm and raises your breathing rate for 20 or more minutes.

That’s all.

Even at that pace you’re priming your body to tap into stored fat and use it for energy.

Combined with your weekly strength circuits you’ll soon be punching fat directly in the face.
