FAQ

How often should I do this full body workout?

3 times per week on non-consecutive days works well for beginners and intermediate trainees alike.

Will this build muscle or just help me lose fat?

Both - bodyweight circuits build muscle endurance and some strength, while the cardio finisher supports fat loss when combined with a calorie deficit.

What if push-ups are too hard?

Perform them on your knees or against a wall until you build enough strength for the full version.
