Summer Bodies Are Made In The Winter | Your Workout Plan

Hey Babe,

I’m just here to remind you that, the summer-body that you want is made in the winter.

To help you get a head start on your New Year’s fitness resolution, I have created your workout plan for the next 30 days. Organized day by day, with detailed descriptions for each exercise. You can print or use this as a guide for your daily workouts. Each session begins with a 10-15 minute cardio warm-up session, focusing on strength training for abs, thighs, and glutes, and ends with a 10-minute stretch.

Jump rope, brisk walking, cycling, or treadmill at moderate intensity.
