If you are a beginner and just starting to workout this beginners workout routine for women is a great place to start. This women’s beginner workout plan is a great fat burning plan. It will burn lots of calories and get you into great shape. It consists of a lot of cardio combined with low weight, high rep strength training exercises. There is minimal rest time during this workout so it will be challenging but the workouts should be relatively quick.. This workout routine will be difficult so if you are unable to complete a workout, it is okay. Go home and rest and come back to the next workout ready to work hard again. Listen to your body as it will tell you when enough is enough. As you workout consistently, you will be amazed at the results. I highly recommend going to the gym with a partner, friend, sibling, etc. when doing this beginners workout routine for women as both of you will be able to motivate each other. Also, many days going to the gym feels so much like a hassle but if you go with another person, there will be more of an obligation to go.

Make sure you are eating properly both throughout the day as well as -pre and -post workout nutrition. Without a proper diet, exercise can only do so much.

The Workout Routine For Women Beginning to Exercise

Monday – Cardio + Upper Body

Treadmill

  • 5 minute warm-up (just to get the blood flowing)
  • 10 minute jog (should be difficult but not too hard)
  • 5 minute cool down

120 minutes-

Lat Pulldowns 3 sets of 15 reps, 30-second rest

Dumbbell Bench Press 3 sets 15 reps, 30-second rest

Front Raise 3 sets of 15 reps, with 30-second rest

Overhead Dumbbell Triceps Extensions 3 sets 15 reps with 30-second rest

Tuesday – Off

Wednesday: Cardio/ABS

1.Five minute warm-up on the treadmill to get the blood flowing

2.Interval training for 15 minutes –

  •  During interval training, you will alternate between “fast” and “slow”. For example, let’s say that 7 speed is difficult for you and 5 speed is still kind of hard but not too strenuous. You will do a minute at 7 speed and then a minute at 5 speed and then a minute at 7 speed and then a minute at 5 speed, etc. for 15 minutes.
  • So before you start your 15 minutes, pick the speeds that you think will be good for you. This is supposed to be difficult but not impossible so be realistic with your speeds

3.Cool-down for 5 minutes

Front Plank 3 sets for 60-second hold, with 30-second rest

In N Outs 3 sets for 15 reps, with 30-second rest

Mason Twists 3 sets of 40-second reps, with 30-second rest

Crunch And Hold For 5 Seconds 3 sets of 8 reps, with 30-second rest

Friday: Cardio/Lower Body

5 minute warm-up on the treadmill–

Dumbbell Squats (using weight for this is optional. If bodyweight squats are a challenge, then do not use any weights. As the exercise gets easier, add weight to the exercise)3 sets of 15 reps, with 30-second rest

Lunges 3 sets of 15 reps, with 30-second rest

Hamstring Curls 3 sets of 15 reps, with 30-second rest

Calf Raises 3 sets 15 reps, 30-second rest
