Most of us would like to START exercising but we do not know Where or How to start, hence we lose motivation after a month of not seeing results plus boredom. The video will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know in starting a successful Workout Plan, to keep you motivated, and most importantly to achieve your GOALS!
For example how many days should I workout? How long for? How many repetitions and sets should I perform? What time of the day is best to workout? What exercises should I perform to lose weight? How long should I rest in between each set? How hard should I push myself? When will I see results? How important is my food intake?
All these questions will be answered in this video plus more nutritional and motivational tips as we work towards your goal in the next 8 weeks.
I’ve called the 8-week challenge the ‘Fit & Feminine’ workout! Just like most of you, I want to be fit but still feminine looking at the same time (not too muscular eh!)
There are 2 plans for you to choose from:
a) 3-day Workout Plan
b) 5-day Workout Plan
Both workout plans are as below. Please feel free to write them down and go through my ‘Workout With Me’ videos to perform these exercises. You may adjust the days according to what suits you best so long as you stick to exercising for either 3 or 5 days. They can be performed both in the gym or at home.
