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.
Pregnancy Modification:Take out all planks and burpees in circuits two and three. Sub bird dog for superman in circuit three. And if you’re no longer comfortable lying on your back, sub this 30-Minute Dumbbell Arm Workout.
Pregnancy Modification: Take low impact options as needed. Add an incline to push ups, and omit the sit up in move six (just perform the overhead tricep extensions).
Pregnancy Modification: Add an incline to any push up/plank positions. You can sub standing tricep extensions for the glute bridge skull crushers if you’re not comfortable lying on your back.
Pregnancy Modification: Make all cardio exercises low impact. If you’re not comfortable performing bent over back exercises and lunges, option to sub lunges for deadlifts and make back exercises single-sided to better support your core/back.
Pregnancy Modification: Take low impact options as needed, modify all planks, burpees and push ups by adding an incline. And if you’re no longer comfortable on your back, substitute glute bridges for squats and skull crushers for overhead tricep extensions.
Pregnancy Modification: If you’re not comfortable lying on your back, try taking the back exercises from a stability ball. You can also make the back exercises single-sided to better support your core. And sub this 5-Minute Beginner Ab Workout.
Pregnancy Modification:Avoid twists and belly down postures, and modify core work as needed. Alternatively, flow through my pregnancy-friendly 10-Minute Recovery Yoga Flow.
Pregnancy Modification:This is a TOUGH one, but you can take it at your pace and make it low impact. Again taking all push ups and planks from an incline.
Pregnancy Modification: In general, this is okay in the first and second trimesters if you’re still comfortable on your back; take low impact options as needed. Or sub these 7 Pregnancy Ab Exercises.
Pregnancy Modification: Take low impact options as needed, modify all planks, burpees and push ups by adding an incline. And if you’re no longer comfortable on your back, substitute glute bridges for squats and skull crushers for overhead tricep extensions.
Pregnancy Modification: Add an incline to any push up/plank positions. You can sub standing tricep extensions for the glute bridge skull crushers if you’re not comfortable lying on your back.
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.

I’ve been doing your at home workouts since COVID. They have been so beneficial, motivating and even fun! I feel like I’m not working out alone. The results have been noticeable and I’m just working 3-4 days per week. I’m stronger, more toned and I can actually see muscles!
You have great variety which helps to keep me coming back.
Polly! This message absolutely made my day, thank you so much for sharing! I hope you are proud of all your hard work — love the results you are seeing! Keep up the great work and YES, keep coming back for more!! -Lindsey
I can’t believe you give away an entire months worth of workouts! This is probably very useful during the current state of things. You have some unique and useful moves. I’m not sure which workout is currently playing in the video, but I like how the moves change very quickly. It looks intense with a splash of stability.
