Woman doing the plankThis is a workout plan I have designed, focused on functional exercises which will help to correct muscle imbalances caused by common lifestyle factors and therefore increase your metabolism, which is the best way to burn body fat. This is a basic workout plan, so after 6 weeks exercises should be modified to make it more challenging, but you can use this 2-4 times a week and will see the difference after 6 weeks! Some of these exercises also require no equipment so they can be done at home as an extra workout or if you don’t have access to a gym.
