I’ve always thought that anybody can knock out bad eating habits when they are determined to do it. But, once you figure out what to eat, staying fit and active is the next step. Regular exercise requires much more than self-determination, which is why following a well-thought-out full body weight loss exercise plan is very important.
It can be overwhelming to pick an effective weight loss workout plan, with so many exercise plans available at the tap of a button.
A weight loss workout plan is a set of exercises that helps maximize a person’s goal of losing weight.
When starting a fitness journey, you should have a balanced workout plan for weight loss that will train each muscle group at least once a week.
An effective weight loss exercise plan should include High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and strength training, and you’ll see a lot of HIIT and strength training exercises in this workout program.
Strength training is important because it builds muscle, helps boost your metabolism, and makes it easier to keep the weight off in the long run.
HIIT is also key in a weight loss plan because it accelerates fat loss way more than moderate training does. According to studies, HIIT helps improve cardiorespiratory fitness in slightly overweight men and women [1].
Research also shows that four months of high-intensity interval exercises will significantly reduce belly fat and improve good cholesterol.

Benefits of Having a Workout Plan for Weight Loss
A workout plan for weight loss will give you an edge for safe and sustainable weight loss if you stick with it. But what exactly are the benefits of having a weight loss exercise plan?
Consistency – Not only does having a workout plan tailored to your weight loss goals help you burn fat, but it also helps you to exercise regularly.
A workout routine can help you stay active and ensure that you are making progress toward your weight loss goals.
Motivation – A results-driven workout plan can be a great source of motivation. Knowing exactly what you’ll be doing for your next workout can help you stay motivated, especially when you start to notice weight loss.
Accountability – A workout plan will help you hold yourself accountable, especially if you mark your progress and log each workout into a fitness calendar.
Performing exercises correctly – Following a structured workout plan will help you do the exercises correctly and with proper form.
The 8-week weight loss exercise plan to get you in shape fast
Today or tomorrow, when you start with day 1 of this exercise plan, you’ll be making the promise to yourself to show up and do the work to sculpt that body!
Don’t ask if this workout plan for weight loss works. Ask how much losing weight is important to you right now. Once you have your answer, it’ll be easy to dig deeper each day for the next 8 weeks!
How to Make This Weight Loss Workout Plan Work for You
Pacing yourself during any workout plan is important so that you don’t get overwhelmed. This 8-week weight loss workout plan starts slow for the first 2 weeks.
The intensity gradually increases after the second week- by the end of the first 4 weeks, you should be ready to push yourself harder.
What you give when working out with this program is what you are going to get out of it.
If you give 100%, your results will be 100%.
If you give excuses or less than everything that is within you, your results will show it.
”You can’t cheat the grind, it knows how much you’ve invested, it won’t give you nothing you haven’t worked for.’’
Good nutrition is important for weight loss
You must remember that while exercise is great for weight loss and overall well-being, nutrition is actually key to effective weight loss.
Just as you will be showing up and going hard on your workouts during the next 2 months of the workout plan, you should also show up in the kitchen with healthy food.
Not only will good nutrition help you shed pounds but it will also help reduce inflammation, balance hormones and help build lean muscle.
While on this weight loss exercise plan, you will need to feed your body what it needs, not what it wants.
You’ll have to learn to exercise the mental power to say no to junk food cravings. You can put together a meal plan from these 32 foods that burn belly fat, and if you are not sure what foods you should say no to, check out this list of foods to avoid for weight loss.
This post may include affiliate links. You can read my full disclosure here.
This weight loss exercise plan can be done from the comfort of your home or at the gym.
The following is the equipment that you will need for the duration of the workout.
Equipment required
- Exercise mat or towel
- A strong jump rope like this one
- A kettlebell with a great grip
- A barbell for the last 2 weeks
- A set of dumbbells. I recommend these ones because they include different weight sets
You have the power to push your body harder and past your mental limits.
Before you start this workout plan
Always start the workouts with a warm-up and do post-workout stretches.
What does x3 mean?
You will see a lot of X3 in this workout plan. X3 means that you have to do the exercise three times.
You will also notice that some exercises do not have the x3 or x4. This is not a mistake, it simply means that you should only do that particular exercise once!
Let me explain how you should do this by using Week 1, Monday.
Start the workout with the dynamic warm-up and end with the cool down and stretch.
Next,
15 jump rope x3
8 goblet squats x3
8 kettlebell swings x3
8 lunges x3
10 jump rope x3
8 glute bridges x3
20 jump rope
One round of this exercise will look like this:
15 jump rope, then rest for 30-60seconds then move to 8 goblet squats, rest, then move to 8 kettlebells, then rest, 8 lunges, 10 jump rope, 8 glute bridges, and then 20 jump rope (notice that 20 jump rope DOES NOT have X3). So, in the next two rounds, you will do all the workouts and skip the 2o jump rope.
Full body 8-Week Weight Loss Exercise Plan
Dynamic warm-up- 5 minutes
- March in place – 60 seconds
- Arm circles – 60 seconds
- Hip circles – 60 seconds (30 seconds clockwise, and 30 seconds anticlockwise direction)
- Standing toe touches – 60 seconds

Cooldown
- Jog in place – 30 seconds

How to do the workouts for the weight loss exercise plan
Push-ups
How to do push-ups
Get into a plank position on the floor. If you are a beginner you can modify by doing on the knees push-ups also known as girl push-ups.
If you want to make the move easier and balance better, your legs can be wider than shoulder-width. If you are advanced, you can bring your legs closer together.
Keep your back straight –the line from your neck down to your lower back should be neutral. (Don’t look up or down and don’t stick your butt in the air either).
Keep your abs and butt tight, your shoulder back and arms, shoulder-width apart.
Steadily lower yourself down until your chest is about an inch away from the floor.
Push yourself up to the starting position and repeat.
Goblet squats
Goblet squats can be performed using a dumbbell or kettlebell.
Hold the weight with both hands and bring it up against your chest. Face forward and keep your head and body straight.
Place your feet shoulder-width apart, and point your toes slightly outwards.
Slowly lower your body as if you are about to sit in a chair and pause at the bottom. Always make sure that you are leading the movement with your hips and not your legs- you should hinge at the hip and not the knees.
Remember to keep your quads (thighs) parallel to the ground, and your knees behind your toes.
Use your glutes to push yourself up to the starting position, while maintaining the same pace as when you lowered yourself down.
Always keep straight back.
Forearm planks
Get on the floor as if you are about to do a push-up.
Bend your elbows 90 degrees, making sure that your forearms are pointing forward and your fists are tightly gripped.
Place your body weight rest on your forearms. Your elbows should be directly underneath your shoulders, and your body should form a straight line from your head to your feet.
Keep your legs together and tighten your core. Do not hold your breath.
Breathe in and out from your tummy and hold the position for as long as you can.
Kettlebell swings
Stand up straight and bend at the hips.
The kettlebell should on the floor in front of you- when you bend forward, your eyes should be directly over the kettlebell.
Lower your arms and hold the handle by the corners.
Hinge at the hips, while keeping a straight spine and lift the kettlebell up.
Let the kettlebell hang between your thighs and swing the kettlebell up using your hips and not from the arms.
Squeeze your glutes as you bring the kettlebell just slightly above your hips. And stand up straight.
Remember this is not a squat. Do not squat during this movement.
Repeat the movement.
Glute bridges
This is the most awkward exercise you’ll ever find yourself doing in the gym. That aside, it is the best exercise that will help you build that tight and round butt. Not even squats come close to how effective glute bridges are for a toned butt.
You can do this exercise without the weight but to get the most out of it, I recommend adding weight. Start with what you can handle, then build up from there.
Lie flat on the back, and keep your shoulder legs shoulder-width apart.
Plant your feet firmly on the ground and bring your heels as close to your butt as possible.
Place a dumbbell above the pubic bone, and slightly lift your shoulders off the floor.
Hold the dumbbell with your hand, as you push your butt up as high as you can and squeeze your butt at the top.
Slowly lower your hips back to the floor and repeat the movement.
Lunges with dumbbells
Stand straight, facing forward, with feet shoulder-width apart, while holding dumbbells in each hand.
Rest the dumbbells by the sides of your body.
Take a big step forward with your right leg, and bend both your front and back leg at about 90-degree angle.
Keep your back straight as you bend at the knee, and make sure that your front knee does not go over your toes.
Step back to starting position and alternate legs and repeat.
Tricep dips
Sit on the edge of a bench or a chair, and place your hands on the bench, next to your body.
Slide slightly forward, away from the chair and extend your legs.
Bend at the elbows and slowly lower your body until your elbows are at a 90 degrees angle.
Push yourself up to the starting position using your triceps.
Always remember not to lock your elbows.
Standing bicep curls
Hold a pair of dumbbells in each hand and stand up straight, feet shoulder-width apart.
Keep the dumbbells close to your torso.
In a controlled movement, slowly curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders, without moving your upper arms and pause for 3 seconds at the top.
Do not swing or fling the dumbbells as you curl.
Slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position and repeat.
Hammer Curls
Stand with a dumbbell in each hand- your palms should face each other and your feet be shoulder-width apart.
Without locking the elbows, slowly lift your arms towards your chest and not your shoulders.
Squeeze your biceps as you reach the chest and pause and hold for 3 seconds.
Slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position and repeat.
Overhead Shoulder Press
Sit on a bench or stand up straight while holding the dumbbells in your hands with palms facing forward.
Contract your abs and bring the dumbbells up to your shoulders, while maintaining a neutral spine.
In a controlled movement, push the dumbbells up over your head and with the same pace, bring the dumbbells down until your elbows form a 90-degree angle.
Bicycle Crunches
Lie flat on your back on your exercise mat, with legs bent at the knees.
Slightly raise your head and shoulder off the mat, and place your hands behind the ears. Do not tighten your neck.
Bring your right knee towards your left elbow and extend your left leg out, raising it slightly off the floor.
Do not move your elbow towards the knee, rather, move the knee towards the elbow with each rotation.
Repeat the motion with the opposite leg and arm.
Leg Raises
How to do leg raises
Lie down on your back and place your hands either under your bum or on the side of your body.
Bring your legs together and raise them to form a 90-degree angle.
Slowly lower legs until they are about a few inches from the ground and repeat the movement.
If your back arches as you lower your legs, then don’t go as far down.
Your core will get stronger the more you do these ab workouts for beginners, and once it does, you’ll be able to comfortably go as low as possible without your back lifting off the ground.
Jumping rope
Jump rope is a high-intensity workout that torches fat fast. If you want to skip your way to weight loss, jumping rope will get you there faster.
Jumping rope is one of the exercises that you can do at home, at the gym, and just about anywhere. A jump rope is one of the most affordable workout equipment and easily carry it around even when traveling.
The health benefits of jumping rope are just as insane as the calories that get you to burn while doing this exercise. Jumping rope also improves coordination and bone density and revs up metabolism.
If you don’t have a jump rope yet, you can buy one from Amazon. To avoid frustrations such as the rope getting tangled or easily breaking, always buy one with a sturdy cable.
How to jump rope
Hold the handles of the cable in both hands and stand up straight, shoulders back and stomach tucked in.
Keep your elbows close to your body and keep the jump rope against the back of your knees.
Jump up as you swing the rope over your head and around your body. Always lead the swing with only your hands and not your entire arms.
Repeat.

Final thoughts
Remember to always celebrate your non-scale and scale victories and the end of each week to help you stay motivated. Celebrate small and big wins such as doing all the workouts for the week, your clothes fitting better, or losing pounds or inches.
Whether it is losing a few pounds or finally hitting your mile time goal, you should reward yourself with whatever seems right for you (don’t use junk food as a reward).
Finally, don’t forget to listen to your body and give yourself an extra rest day if your body needs one.

Well not I am at the age that a bikini body isn’t going to happen. For all of you younger women who can still wear a bikini good luck with getting into shape and enjoying the summer.
My bikini days are over, but I do need to work out more. I’ll have to try these workouts so I can look semi-decent this summer.
I have been working out all winter but now is the time to give it an extra push for bikini season. I have a few stubborn pounds to get off before the summmer comes so i will try some of these tips.
I really need to join this challenge. This workout looks amazing and I think it would be great for me.
I think it is going to take me a lot more than 30 days to get bikini body ready! These are great workouts for home!
What a great spring workout challenge! I feel so inspired to start prepping for swimsuit season!
My son has a little workout area in the basement and it is mostly equipment that I don’t really care to use. I like the kettlebell and jump rope. The squats and swings are what I need most. Over 50 and my muscle tone looks like it! lol
I really need to whip myself back into shape. This is a great workout plan, will try to implement some of these exercises!
I used to love jump roping when I was a kid. I need to get mine back out and use it! I would have fun with it, I know!
I can’t imagine my being in a bathing suit by Summer, but I will definitely give these exercises a try.
I need to get back into working out. I have really slacked off over the winter months.,
Challenges like this can really help keep things on track for sure. This is a great post for anyone wanting to be more fit and stay on schedule!
This would be awesome workout tips and all of it are really great. Got a perfect body this summer.
Ahh, this sounds so intense! But I know I need to at least try this work out. I am sure it will work!
This workout looks pretty easy. I think I can do a couple of each everyday. LOL. Seriously though, I would like to give this a try.
This looks like great useful post, I am going to pin it for my future use. Thanks for sharing the wonderful tips, Yes Summer is most important for workout.
How can I print this?
Hi Kristin. You can click download planner and download it from Sendowl website. Cheers to that summer body!
Hi! Where does it say “print planner” ?
Hey there.
My wife has a congenital hip dislocation so she has a leg shorter than the other one. She needs to lose weight in order to avoid pressure over her hips. I am trying to be her personal trainer but I haven´t found a suitable workout for my wife´s condition. She’s 35 years old and thus I wonder if any of you knows where exactly I can find what I am looking for or what modifications I can make to this workout plan which is great for a normal body.
Thank you
Hi there Johan,
Sorry to hear about your wife. You are absolutely right, this is NOT the right workout plan for your wife and I think no matter how much you scour the internet, you won’t find a plan that will not do more harm to your wife’s existing condition.
My advice is that you visit a physiotherapist in your area and have them evaluate your wife’s condition, as well as recommend the best workouts for her.
All the best to you and your wife!
On week 4 of this plan and I’m loving it!!!! But I’m curious what’s next after the 6 weeks are completed? I thought about doing it again but would love to know your thoughts? Thanks so much for this workout it’s helped me stay on track and work consistently towards a goal!
Hey Ashley! So glad to hear that you are loving this workout plan! You can do round two yes but would advise that you step it up a notch with the weights or even throw in an extra round whenever you can. I am currently working on a 12-week plan and should be available before June, stay tuned!
Just looking this plan over and was wondering when the days have exercises x 3 and some without, is this an error or do you just skip them on the second round?
Hi Kaz, no this is not an error.
I noticed some errors between the image and the actual listing of the workouts. For instance, the image will say 100 Jump ropes while listing of the workouts says 100 Jump Ropes 3x.
Also on Week 4, the circuit has most of the workouts x3, with the exception of a couple that say x4. Should this whole week be x4? There are some workouts in the circuit that are not listed to repeat.
Should the single workouts in a circuit be done first or last?
Hi Kimberly, yes the workout was designed that way. When you do the actual workouts, you will realize why some exercises say x3 and others x4 and why some don’t say repeat. Follow the listed workout and not the image-the images were only for promotion on Pinterest.
Hi I love this workout and am looking forward to my before and after photos.
I was also wondering if the workouts that do not repeat should be done in the first round or the last round or in the middle?
Thanks a bunch!
Hey Erica,
The workouts that don’t repeat should be done in that specific order to keep the heart rate up. Remember this is a HIIT workout plan 🙂
Hi. Just found this page a couple of weeks ago and I am incorporating this workout plan to see if I can make inroads into this plateau I am on.
My query relates the Wednesday workouts. I am not sure if the question was raised prior. Are these only one round?
Hi Rhonelle! Yes, Wednesday workouts are only 1 round apart from week 6.
Before I begin the workout plan, I have a few questions. Some of the days has either x3 & x4; x2 & x4; while others have nothing by it. For example Week 4 and Day 1 of Week 5.
Kindly give a breakdown on how to perform it if i am to follow the example provided at the beginning pertaining to x3
Hi Tiana, yes some days have x2 x4, etc. For example, Week for Monday says this:
10 jump squats x2
10 dumbbell deadlifts x4
12 rockstar jumps
1o sumo squats x 4
10 glute bridges x4
12 rockstar jumps
10 kettlebell swings x4
10 lunges x4
15 rockstar jumps
Start with 10 jump squats, rest for 30-45 seconds and then do another 10 jump squats.
Next, move to 10 dumbbell deadlifts, then rest and repeat until you complete 4 sets of the deadlifts then move to rockstar jumps and complete the set. Rest and move to sumo squats and do 4 of them with 30-45 sec in between each set.
