Get shredded with this 2-week program designed to help you lose weight with HIIT workouts and to work on those abs! This challenge is beginner friendly since it is only 14 days, has no jumping and low impact variations, and no equipment is required.
You are recommended to do ALL videos listed for each day. E.g. if a day has three videos, you should do all three. If a video is listed twice, you should do it twice. If you're having trouble doing them, stick to the low impact versions until you get stronger. That being said, the warmup and cooldown videos are optional, and some days include other optional videos. While it's recommended you do these, they're not essential. Remember, these schedules are my recommended guide - please feel free to make changes as necessary to suit your needs.
The order in which I listed them is my recommendation. You can break them up and do them across the day, but it's worth just getting it all done in one session if you're able.
It's meant to be hard! If it wasn't hard, you wouldn't get results. Don't feel pressured in performing at 100% at the start. Go at your own pace, it's totally fine and expected. The key is to keep track of your progress, slow down and focus on your breathing and form and aim to do better each day. Soon you'll realise you're much stronger and you'll soon progress and be able to follow along all the way.
Yes, feel free to make changes as necessary and rest when you feel your body needs it. There is no one size fits all and this schedule is just my recommendation. For ladies, on your special day of the month, feel free to take the day off or do the low impact version if you can.

This depends entirely on what results you are looking for. In general, working out is just half the battle. You need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and a (mostly) healthy diet - you don't have to eat clean/healthy all the time, but it will definitely be beneficial in the long run. If you're looking for healthy meal options, I have tons of meal ideas and What I Eat videos that contain healthy recipes and are (most importantly) YUMMY as well. Healthy food can be tasty too!
It depends on your goals. Everyone's physique is different and you may or may not see results you were expecting. I recommend giving yourself one week off entirely after the program as rest is important.
Do not measure your progress based on the weights on your scales! It's not an accurate representation of your progress as there's muscle gain, water weight, and other factors to consider. Some of you may be at your optimal weight and there's only so much difference the scales will show. What I would recommend is taking progress photos, same angle, start of the day, same time, do it once a week. At the end of the program, look at your physical change and also how you FEEL. Feeling stronger, more confident and happier makes a huge difference in your everyday life and those are things people often forget about.
