Strength Workout for Fat Loss
Even when you're cutting, strength training is a must to hold on to your muscle. Chain big full-body moves together with short rests and you'll be done in under 40 minutes.
Full-Body Strength (about 40 min)
| Exercise | Sets | Reps | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goblet Squat | 3 sets | 10–12 reps | 1 min |
| Dumbbell Bench Press | 3 sets | 10–12 reps | 1 min |
| Seated Cable Row | 3 sets | 10–12 reps | 1 min |
| Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift | 3 sets | 10–12 reps | 1 min |
| Kettlebell Swing | 3 sets | 10–12 reps | 1 min |
| Plank | 3 sets | 30–60 sec | 1 min |
Tips
- Rest 1 minute on compound lifts and 45 seconds on everything else. Sticking to those rests is the heart of this routine.
- Aim for 3 days a week, and add light cardio like walking on your rest days.
- Pick a weight that lets you just barely hit your target reps so you keep your muscle.
