Now that you have a general idea of what you should do to lose body fat, you're probably wondering what exactly your weekly workout regimen should look like. Ideally, you should do two to three days of strength training and two to three days of cardio, Tiffany said. It's also important to allow your body to recover, which is why Tiffany recommends at least one day of rest per week.
"If time is limited, try sprinkling [in] cardio throughout your strength session," she suggested. For example, if it's leg day and you're squatting, try jumping rope for 60 seconds in between each set or rowing for 300 meters. Let's be honest: if training five to six days a week isn't feasible right now, don't sweat it. Seriously. "Set a goal that works for you. Remember, more is not always better," Tiffany said.
Whether you're strength training three days a week or six, Tiffany recommends doing the following for each workout:
For your cardio workouts, Tiffany recommends doing both longer low-intensity workouts, 45 minutes or more, and shorter workouts like HIIT.
