Lose Belly Fat Workout - Week 1

Lose belly fat week 1 Welcome to the program.

Please remember that the key to this program is to get comfortable with the new changes before you move on. Each week will add more requirements and get progressively harder so it is better to be fairly comfortable with the current weeks goals before you move on.

Special Note for week 1: This week starts off with a 90 second break, If you need longer, then rest longer. It is not unusual for people to start off with one 15 second interval and 3 minutes of rest - and that is the whole workout.

The concept of weekly workouts is only to give you structure, please move through this whole workout at your own safe pace.

Start at a point where you can manage and slowly improve - you don't need to move to week 2's workout untill you are ready.

Good luck, heres wishing you all the fat loss you deserve.
