Bodyweight Workout At Home for Women

This 4 day workout routine is designed to utilize the benefits of strength training for fat loss and body toning. Women in the fitness culture sometimes shy away from strength training due to a fear of becoming "too bulky". Not only is this not a risk for women (lower testosterone means a much lower rate of muscle growth when compared to men), but strength training offers a variety of other benefits such as reduced blood pressure, improved cholesterol, increased joint health, and even improved sleep. This workout program utilizes your own bodyweight to begin a resistance training regimen that will help you tone your body and reap all of these benefits. Beginner female lifters should try this workout out if they want to get into a consistent 4 day workout that will work in any environment.

NOTES:

1. Before starting the workout routine, always warm up with 5 minutes of low-intensity aerobic activity.

2. Do static stretching of all muscles and joints after completion of the workout.

3. For unilateral movements, maintain the same number of reps for both limbs in order to avoid imbalance. If one side is weaker than the other, then always start with the weaker limb.

4. If you are unable to perform push up with proper form, you can replace it with knee push up which is doing push up keeping your knees planted on the floor. You can also do wall push up if you wish to.

5. Rest no more than 30 seconds in between each set and each exercise.

5. Maintain a balanced diet of complex carbs, protein, fiber and healthy fats for the best results.
