How to Plan Your Weeks

Three weeks are more than enough to take control of your body. The key is to start. Our workout plan gets gradually more challenging and includes High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T) for fat-blasting workouts that burn as much as 500 calories in an hour!

The following is a daily workout plan of three weeks. It is especially designed to get you back into the exercise routine and help you bounce back into shape for summer.

Endurance Exercises

Endurance exercises are part of your weekly cardio routine. These are freestyle exercises in the beginning of every week to help you warm up for the entire week’s plan. They can include brisk walking, running, swimming, cycling or other similar activities. There is no specific plan to follow in these exercises, as they are not a part of the actual workout plan. Week 1 includes endurance exercises for 20 minutes, gradually increasing the duration to 30 minutes and 40 minutes in subsequent weeks.
