Week 1: Build the Basics and Skills

This week is about taking it easy from the get-go. You’ll find your goals and get the basics. Consider it part of the base of fitness.

Setting Realistic Goals

Set goals that make sense. They should be SMART. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timebound. Better: Instead of “I want to get fit,” say “Walk for 30 minutes 3 times this week.”

Make big goals smaller. Thereby makes them more manageable. All these smaller goals make us feel better when we accomplish them.

Basic Workout Routine

Here’s a simple workout. You can perform it at home or at the gym. Try these exercises:

Squats (with body weight): 3 X 10
Push-ups (on knees if necessary): 3 sets to failure
Lunges: 3 sets, 10 reps each leg
Plank: 3 sets of 30 seconds hold

Take 60-second rest between sets. Make the harder moves easier: if some are too hard. Something is better than nothing.

Nutrition 101

Healthy food is key. Focus on eating well. Eat the right portions, balanced meals, and water.

A good tip? Drink eight glasses of water every day. It helps a lot!

Week 2: Strength and Endurance Training

Time to step it up! We’re adding more to the workouts this week. Prepare to be pushed as we concentrate on your strength training.

Strength Training Focus

Add to last week’s moves. You can try doing them in a new way. You may also experiment with heavier weights. Try these new exercises:

Rows (with dumbbells or resistance band): 3 sets of 10 reps
Overhead presses (dumbbells): 3 sets of 10 reps
Deadlifts (start light, build form): 1×5, 2×3

Be sure to use the correct form! That prevents you from being wounded. If you are not confident, research tutorials online.

Cardio Enhancement

Do more cardio. You can walk faster or practice jogging. You can also include short periods of speed.

Try other options. Swim, bike, or dance. Find what you like!

Meal Planning for Success

Plan your meals. This helps you eat better. A plan might look like this:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with berries and nuts
Lunch: Green salad with grilled chicken
Dinner: Roasted veggies and salmon

Eat protein, carbohydrates, and good fats.

Week 3: Raising Intensity and Adding Variety

Push yourself more this week. Introduce new moves, switch it up. New things added keeps your body guessing.

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)

HIIT is awesome for torching calories. It combines short bursts of deep work with rest. Try this:

Run fast for 30 seconds
Walk for 60 seconds
Repeat 10-15 times

HIIT helps your heart a lot.

Advanced Strength Training

Try harder strength moves. These could be pull-ups, dips, or single-leg squats. Do pull-ups with a band if they’re too hard.

Gradually lift heavier or do more repetitions. This is known as progressive overload.

Mindful Eating Practices

Pay attention to your body while you eat. Be aware of when you are hungry and when you are full. Don’t eat out of sadness or boredom.

Keep a food diary. Write down what you eat. You might find patterns.
