Hey all, this is my beginner workout routine! I wanted to make a 20 minute workout you can follow if you want to exercise at home.

It’s for beginners, specifically with the overweight person in mind because of the exercises i’ve chosen, but I guess it would work if you’re pretty unfit and just need a basic workout to start your journey to good health. This is for men and for women, it works to lose weight in the same way any exercise does – by burning calories – but also helps you build muscle.

This is an “at home workout” without equipment, you just need to clear a space on the floor and get going. It’s done in real time so you just copy me on the screen and save the video so you can come back to it every time you need to workout.

The exercises are done for 40 seconds, then the cardio is done for 60 seconds. A lot of you think that cardio burns fat the quickest but if you stick to the strength exercise you will slowly put on MUSCLE – and muscle raises your metabolism so you burn fat 24/7, that’s why everyone says jogging isn’t as good as you think it is.

So it goes Squats x3, Hip Raises x3, Planks x3, Side Lying Leg Raises x3.

In between you do the cardio, whic cycles through Get Ups, Modified Burpees and Marching.

I also threw in a hip raise variation that uses a sofa or workout bench, if you have access to it then it just gives you a slightly bigger range of motion for your hips to travel.

So the Full Workout is as follows:

Marching 40 secs (warm up)
Squats (40 secs)
