Regular: Lose 4-5 kg over 12 weeks (with an empty stomach sessions)

Intermediate 12 weeks 2x/week
article rating 4.6/5 348

We're going to suggest a gradual program so that your muscles and joints get used to exercise.

I propose an empty stomach session once a week. You will run in the morning even before eating. This practice burns more fat, but it must be used sparingly. Respect the proposed plan to let your body get used to this practice. On your return, you will have breakfast as recommended by our nutritionist in the councils.

Over time, you'll become slimmer (before starting the program, remember to measure around your thighs, hips and waist) and then you'll lose weight, between 3-5 kilos.

Ideally, you should train on Wednesdays and Saturdays so that your sessions are staggered throughout the week.
