Plan Details
The FAT loss routine by empines is a 4 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve cutting fitness goals.
45 minutes of cardio before every workout. I have listed the elliptical. I perform my elliptical workout on the interval setting. Feel free to change the cardio portion to whatever you like as long as it is performed moderate to high intensity for a solid 45 minutes. Weight portion: There will be 3 sets of 8-10 reps each exercise. Start first set with a heavy-comfortable weight and increase weight with each following set. The goal is exhaustion by the last rep. Pattern I will be following is 1 day on-1 day off-2 days on-1 day off-2 days on. so 1-0-2-0-2 This is a 5 week routine. This is for cutting fat and building lean muscle.
