Jump start your fitness journey with this simple 2-week fitness plan and meal plan! Enjoy quick, healthy meals and build muscle with easy-to-follow daily workouts. This free plan includes both a complete workout routine and a dietitian-created meal plan, perfect for busy lifestyles.

People often ask, “How do you do it? How do you stay on track with workouts and eating right when life’s a total whirlwind?”

Honestly, my “secret” isn’t some magic trick or superhuman willpower. It’s way simpler: I follow a plan.

Think about it – how much time and mental energy do we waste trying to figure out what to do next? “What workout am I doing today? What’s for dinner?”

When you’ve got a plan, you’re good to go. No more decision fatigue and no more scrambling.

That’s why I love to share 2-week home workout challenges with you. They’re designed to build strength, and all you have to do is show up and press play.

This 2-Week Meal Plan is for Anyone Looking to:

  • Include more fruits and vegetables and real, nutrient dense foods in their diet.

A 3-ounce serving of lean pork tenderloin (one of my personal favorite cuts!) is packed with 23 grams of protein. It’s also an excellent source of essential nutrients, including selenium, vitamin B-6, zinc, and beta-alanine (a form of amino acid found in pork and a crucial element in muscle development). Pork tenderloin is also an American Heart Association Heart-Check Certified foods.

Workout Program Details

1. Gym Equipment Needed:

A Set of Dumbbells. Most of the daily workouts require a set of dumbbells. Each weight training workout will have a recommended dumbbell weight, usually between 8-20 pounds. You want a weight heavy enough that your last few reps are a struggle, but you are still able to complete the workout with good form. Shop my dumbbells here (Discount Code: NML5).

Optional Exercise Equipment: Mini Loop Resistance Band (Discount Code: NML)

2. Time Requirement: 

Workouts are 10-35 minutes a day, 6 days per week. You can always take more rest days as needed.

If you’re reducing workout days to accommodate a running schedule or make this plan beginner-friendly, I recommend completing 2-3 of the strength workouts per week.

3. Fitness Level:

Intermediate to advanced, with modifications offered for all fitness levels in the daily workout videos.

If you’re looking for a full body workout plan for beginners, follow our Beginner Workout Plan.

If you need to adjust this plan for pregnancy/postpartum, modifications are noted next to the daily workouts to make this fitness plan accessible for all fitness levels. If I don’t recommend a workout for pregnancy, I’ve linked an alternative, pregnancy-friendly workout.

4. Cost:

FREE! No sign up needed, this is a FREE Workout Plan.

What Is The Best Plan If You’re Starting A Fitness Routine?

If you’re starting an exercise routine, the best workout plan will depend on what you’re trying to achieve. That said, the most important thing is finding something you can stick with! A good weekly plan should mix cardio, strength training, mobility, daily steps and rest days. If you are brand new to fitness, try a beginner workout plan.

What Is A Good Meal Plan To Support Overall Fitness?

If you’re regularly working out and looking to build muscle, you need to fuel your body with high-quality sources of protein. I aim for 30 grams of protein at each meal and recommend following a high-protein meal plan. Popular sources of protein include eggs, chicken, pork, beef, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu and lentils. You can supplement your protein intake by adding protein powders or protein bars to your diet.
