Before we dive into the workout plan, here's what you should know. The key to any training is to make your workout a habit. Get into a routine that's comfortable for you and your fitness level, but don't be afraid to switch it up as you gain strength. Also, HIIT training (high-intensity interval training) is the BEST way to burn fat and build up endurance. Make it part of your routine.
