Workout Description

This is a 12-week high-intensity program perfect for any healthy woman wanting to reshape her body nicely. The goal is to help build lean muscle strength and burn fat around muscles. The workout targets the lower body three times a week focusing hard on the glutes, and the upper body twice a week focusing on sculpting the arm muscles.

To burn more total calories each day, we also added some cardio exercises that you can do in the morning or after your workout. Rest periods range from 30 to 90 seconds between sets and exercises.

Quick note about nutrition:

Quick note on nutrition

It's important to know your success in any workout program depends a lot on your eating habits and sleep. Make sure you get 7-9 hours of sleep every night and eat enough calories to help you get the results you want. If your goal is losing weight, cut about 250 calories from that number. If you're underweight, try adding about 250 calories instead. And if your weight is just right, make sure to eat the right amount of calories to maintain it.

Quick note on tracking progress:

Quick note on tracking progress

It's important to track your results to show progress in this 12-week program. You should plan to take your preferred form of measurements plus try hard to increase some variables in your workouts each week whether that means more weight or more reps and sets.

  • One way to do this is starting with a few sets then add one set every week on one exercise then repeat gradual increases in sets.
  • Another way to progress is to keep your reps and sets the same for all 12 weeks but try to increase the weight you use each week for every exercise. Both methods work and will help you see great results.
