Build a workout 101

I asked my Instagram followers what they wanted to see and they responded with "How to create a workout plan" and I delivered! 🥳

This is the exact format I used to get back into workout postpartum after each body.

Give the example workouts a try use the format to build your own and let me know what you think!

... Read moreCreating a personalized workout plan can feel daunting, especially for beginners or those returning from postpartum workouts. Start by identifying your fitness goals—whether it's weight loss, muscle gain, or simply maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Consider incorporating a mix of strength training, cardio, and flexibility exercises into your routine. For instance, you can follow the superset format outlined in the OCR content, combining lower body exercises like hip thrusts with upper body moves such as rows, for optimal results. Performing exercises like goblet squats and bench presses can also enhance overall strength. Remember, consistency is key! Aim to work out at least three times a week, alternating between full-body workouts to ensure balanced muscle group engagement. As noted, you can gradually add upper body isolation exercises to the mix, such as bicep curls. Lastly, remember that progression matters; gradually increase weights or workout intensity as your strength improves. Seek support from fitness communities online to share experiences and motivate each other. With patience and determination, you can establish and maintain a fulfilling fitness routine!
