Beginner Workout For Women’s Weight Loss At Home

November 14, 2022 · In: Fitness, Workouts

If you are just starting out on your health and fitness journey, or just coming back to it after some time out, I have got your back. This is a beginner’s workout for women who want to lose weight at home. This session is a full-body workout with no equipment. You just need a space on your living room floor and the mindset that you are ready to take your first step forward today.

When starting out on your weight loss mission there can often be a lot of barriers standing in your way. Whether it’s no money for the gym, no equipment at home, fear of working out, fear of failure. Whatever it is that has been holding you back, I hear you and I really want to help you break down those barriers one step at a time.

You deserve to prioritise your health, you deserve to feel good about yourself and your body and I want to help you achieve that.

One Step At A Time

It’s really common to see people dive head first into a new programme only for them to go in too fast, too hard, and quickly find out that it just isn’t sustainable. I don’t want that for you and I am here to help you see that there is another way. A way that you can actually learn to enjoy this process and you don’t have to sacrifice your time, or all the things that you love.

I know you are busy, I also know that life is precious you are here on this earth and want to enjoy the little things in life. With my method, you will learn that you can enjoy life whilst still being able to achieve your health and wellness goals.

Improved health and your ability to lose weight for the long term will come down to your ability to keep going and not just give up after a few days because it all seems too hard.

Consistency is king!

The Workout

This is your beginner-friendly no equipment home workout. Be sure to let me know in the comments how you get on with this workout. And if you aren’t already make sure you subscribe to my Youtube channel so you never miss a new workout upload.

To Maximise Results

Whilst movement and workouts are an important part of your weight loss journey, you must also know that it will only make an impact and change your body shape when combined with changes in your eating habits and behaviours too.

For most people, this can feel scary, but small changes to your nutrition can lead to big changes with your body and no you don’t have to give up everything that you love.

  • Drink more water
  • Add more vegetables to your meals
  • Prioritise protein eating protein with most meals
  • Keep a check on snacking

These are some of the very basics. But with some simple tweaks to your eating habits and also lifestyle, such as making sure you are getting enough sleep will help you to see changes start to take place.

Most women think they need longer workouts to chan Most women think they need longer workouts to change their body composition… but research suggests simply adding load to your body can make a difference.

In one study, participants wore a weighted vest (around 10% of their bodyweight) for several hours a day and after a few weeks researchers saw:

✔ Reduced body fat
✔ Increased lean muscle
✔ Smaller waist circumference

This is why I love using a weighted vest for walks and everyday movement. It’s one of the easiest ways to turn normal steps into strength training.

I’ve linked the one I use in the comments and on stories if you want to try it.

But noticing it and taking a break to slow down a little has me coming back. So today’s session I completed the same workout block as my group class I just pulled back the weights, pulled back the volume and really enjoyed this workout. 

Locals DM to come join classes:

Starting my weight loss journey on a GLP1 medicati Starting my weight loss journey on a GLP1 medication mounjaro. It’s not been an easy decision to start this and also to share this. As a health coach there are feelings of failure and fear of judgement. But with my challenges with PCOS and insulin resistance I just couldn’t get the weight to come off and was currently sitting at an unhealthy body fat percentage. 

So I’m sharing my journey on using this as a tool to improve my health and regain and healthy body weight and hopefully o prove my PCos symptoms in the prices

2 weeks in I’m 7lb down. Slow and steady is the goal while also maintaining as much muscle as I can.

Over 40? The basics matter more than ever. Before Over 40? The basics matter more than ever.

Before you chase the next plan, ask yourself:
✔ Am I sleeping enough? 7-9 hours?
✔ Am I eating enough protein? 30-40g at my main meals
✔ Am I moving daily? 7k + steps
✔ Am I managing stress?

Get these right first. Everything else becomes easier.

Save this for you year long reminder

One of the biggest mistakes I see women 40+ making One of the biggest mistakes I see women 40+ making in the gym is not training with enough intensity.

As Stacy Sims teaches, those last few reps of your sets should feel hard — that struggle is the signal your body needs to:
✔️ hold onto muscle
✔️ support metabolism
✔️ protect bone density
✔️ stay strong as hormones change

This is exactly why I’ve loved the Power Happens programme so much. It’s pushed me to lift heavier, train with purpose, and honestly… I feel stronger now than I have in years 💪

If you want the link to my full review + the programme, comment “Sims” and I’ll send it to you.

Both of which are important especially for us midlife women. And you are getting all the good stuff into one scoop

What’s the best fat burning exercise? Something What’s the best fat burning exercise? Something I get asked a lot. And really there isn’t one, some may even say running but here is why strength training should be a priority as a woman over 40 if you are in a mission to lose body fat 👇👇

Muscle is what keeps your metabolic engine healthy. And as we age we start to lose it. Meaning your goal should be at the very least to maintain the muscle you have. 

Not only will it help you maintain your curves and prevent you looking flat and saggy as you lose body fat

But strength training will help you maintain strength, functionality, maintain your youth, avoid injury, keep your metabolism stoked and keeps you out if the nursing home. 

Strength training is for longevity as much as it is asthetics. 

Your old lady body will thank you for it. 

Want to look and feel better in 2026??
💪 2-3 full body strength sessions a week
💪 1 x HIIT or SIT training session 
💪 Daily movement 7-10k steps a day
