This Home Workout Plan is for Anyone Looking to:

This Full Body Home Workout Plan for Women Includes:

• 4 weeks of guided, muscle building home workouts on YouTube (six workouts per week and one-to-two active recovery, stretching or rest days).
• Minimal equipment – you’ll just need dumbbells and an optional resistance band, kettlebell and foam roller.
• Daily workouts are, on average, 20-35 minutes a day.

Home Workout Plan Details (here’s what you need):

1. Exercise 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. Remember muscle growth happens with lifting heavy weights.

Optional: 

• A Mini Loop Resistance Band. You can always use an old sports bra if you don’t have a resistance band available. These are the mini loop resistance bands I have (DISCOUNT CODE: NML).
• A Kettlebell. There’s one workout that uses a kettlebell, but you can substitute a single dumbbell.
• A Foam Roller. A great way to release sore muscles post workout or to use on active recovery days.

2. Time Requirement: 

Varies from 20-35 minutes a day, 5-6 days per week. You can always take more rest days as needed.

3. Fitness Level:

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

Home Workout Challenge FAQs

1. Can home workouts build muscle and help with weight loss? 

YES! 

Can you “get in shape” in four weeks? That depends on what you’re measuring success by. Building muscle and losing weight takes consistent effort over time, but in four weeks you WILL SEE:

• Increased strength through resistance training and ability to complete more repetitions lifting weights.
• Improved muscle stimulus, reaction time, coordination and balance. Performing each compound exercise with better form.
• BUT the greatest difference you’ll see after completing this 30-day workout program — ELEVATED energy levels and mood!! And desire to come back for more; creating consistent fitness habits at home.

This is the ultimate 4-week home workout plan to help you get fitter and stronger at home.

2. I’m a runner. How do I incorporate running into this full body workout plan?

I suggest completing three of the strength training workouts each week. Choose three full body workouts OR choose: 

• One Leg Day (lower body)
• One Arm Day (upper body)
• One Full Body Training Day

You just want to make sure you are strength training your major muscle groups three times per week.

And then you can add running on the other days. I also like adding a run to arm days if time allows. Or follow our 2-Week Strength Training + Running Workout Plan.

3. How do I 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 the workout for pregnancy, I’ve linked an alternative, pregnancy-friendly workout next to the daily workout above.
