How to Create a Beginner Workout Routine for Weight Loss

If you’re just starting your fitness journey, it can be tough to know where to begin—especially when your goal is to lose weight. At Shark Bite Fitness, we specialize in helping beginners create effective workout routines that burn fat, build muscle, and keep you motivated.

Why Strength Training is Key for Weight Loss

Many beginners focus solely on cardio to lose weight, but incorporating strength training into your routine will give you better, faster results. Strength training helps build muscle, and more muscle means a faster metabolism—allowing you to burn more calories throughout the day, even at rest. Combining cardio and strength training will help you burn fat while toning your body.

Beginner Workout Routine for Weight Loss

Here’s a simple workout routine we recommend for beginners focused on weight loss:

  • Warm-Up (5-10 minutes): Start with light cardio, like brisk walking or cycling.
  • Strength Training (3 sets of 10-12 reps):
    • Squats (to build lower body strength and burn calories)
    • Push-ups (to target your upper body and core)
    • Dumbbell Rows (to improve back strength and posture)
    • Planks (to strengthen your core and improve stability)
  • Cardio (20-30 minutes): Finish your workout with a moderate cardio session, such as running, cycling, or using the elliptical.

This routine combines strength training and cardio, helping you maximize fat loss while building lean muscle.
