This is great info. I wish it was a more friendly to use format, like something I could download onto my phone, or an app!
Regardless, thank you for sharing 🙂
Kelly, We’ll have a calendar designed and added to the post…hopefully early this week. You’ll be able to download it on your phone. 🙂
This is great, i love that you have videos to show how the exercises are done. but I have a question about which meal plan do you suggest go with this workout plan? thanks
This 21-day menu would go perfectly with this plan. Enjoy! https://skinnyms.com/21-day-no-diet-weight-loss-menu/
A calendar format would be greatly WELCOMED and APPRECIATED!

Rebecca, A calendar was just added to the post. You can now download it for reminders! 🙂
Hi Gale
This is a great tutorial on keeping fit.
I have back issues discs etc, & was wondering if I could replace the jumping jacks with a different exercise. I think it might be too hard on my back.
Great ifo.
Regards
Geraldine
Geraldine, Please check with your doctor for specific exercises. My mom has back issues and she does a lot of “high knees marching in place”. These are great because they get her heart rate up with any impact. Check this out https://skinnyms.com/try-tabata-explosive-fat-burning-workout/
This is a great kick butt workout but have been wondering if I was doing the right number of reps, when it says 40 Russian twists is that 40 total, meaning 20 per side? Or do you count both sides as 1 rep?
After completing both sides, count it as one rep so that you end up doing 40 twists per side.
Is that the same for lunges and mountain climbers? 20 or 40 per side or total? Thanks!
Mary, Yes, unless otherwise indicated. 🙂
Sorry, now I’m a bit confused. I don’t see “each leg” (or per side) indicated anywhere except reverse lunges, so I assumed the quantities listed for all other exercises were totals per set. Are all of the numbers listed for the other unilateral exercises — 40 butt kicks, 40 knee raises, 30 hip dips, 20 walking lunges, 40 mountain climbers, 40 Russian twists, etc — meant to be the total number per side, not per set? Thanks!
Jennifer, For example, 40 Mountain Climbers: complete 20 each side, alternating sides as shown in the video. This is true with any of the moves that involve alternating sides, i.e. walking lunges, reverse lunges, Russian twists, etc.
I am 70 years old and this is my 2nd week on the program!!! I absolutely love it, it’s so doable…i also have added every day 5 exercises with weights, like bicep curls, triceps kick backs etc etc….thanks for a great program that is not overwhelming!!!
Anneke, GREAT! Thank you so much for the feedback. Please let us know how you liked the program at the end of the 21 days. 🙂
We have tons of doable programs on the site.
What would you recommend moving onto after you complete the 21 days? The first three weeks I only did 3 circuits but now that I’m getting stronger I’m doing all 4 circuits this week ???
Courtney, That’s great! High five to you. 🙂 Please look over the numerous training plans here https://skinnyms.com/category/fitness/workouts/training-plans/.
Any idea what the approximate calorie burn is on any of these days, excluding the cardio portion?
Thanks!
Amber, Everyone is different and the amount of calories burned depend on numerous factors, i.e. weight, height, body composition, etc..
Will this help in reducing love handles?
After the 21 days, continue with a healthy eating plan and regular exercise to see continued improvement. 🙂
The hip dips are to difficult for me. Are there alternative exercises instead?
Melissa, Have you tried leg kick backs? I love kick backs because they work your glutes and legs. You might want to purchase two light weight ankle weights for this move. However, weights are not necessary to get a good workout. Here’s a great workout https://skinnyms.com/best-exercises-to-tone-your-butt/.
