It’s no secret that losing weight and keeping it off is a challenge. Hence, having a blueprint in a one month workout plan will give you direction in trying to achieve your weight loss goal. What you may not know is that building muscle mass speeds up your metabolism and allows you to burn additional calories at rest. In addition, performing 500 rep, circuit and challenge workouts at a fast pace will help you burn calories at a fast rate, which will also help you lose weight and maintain it. Finally, building muscle will help you look more toned so you will notice positive results quickly.
Before we get to your one month workout plan, remember that you should always pay attention to what you put in your mouth. Think of it this way: you will cancel the benefits of a 20 minute workout with the 15 second pleasurable taste of junk food (doughnuts, cookies, cakes, chips, fast food, etc). Before you eat bad food, look at it and ask yourself “Do I really want this?” Last tip: eat all your meals on a saucer instead of a full sized plate. One half a plate of veggies/fruits, one quarter complex (brown) carbohydrates and one quarter of the plate a lean meat (preferably fish). Follow these basic diet tips, complete your workouts and you will soon realize how easy weight control really is. Good luck!
Perform three workouts per week, giving yourself one day rest between workouts and the weekends off. Incorporate cardiovascular exercise, such as running, walking, jogging, biking, etc as often as you can. The more the better. Check out my Fast Pace Workout for cardio recommendations.

The most important measure is noticing how your clothes fit and seeing how you feel.
Again, congrats!
