The 4-week workout plan to lose weight: Week 3

Exhausted? Sore? Both? Good.

You’ve made it halfway through our month-long workout plan to lose weight and burn belly fat, and we bet by this point your body’s probably feeling just a little bit tired. (For tips on recovery, check out our primer on how to relieve aching muscles.) But that means you’re burning calories and building lean, solid muscle where before there was only flab.

Don’t expect Week 3 to be any easier. In fact, expect the intensity to be taken up a notch or two across all of the workouts.
