I am new to YouTube. Please support by subscribing to my Channel. Like and share the video as well.
Most of us would like to START exercising but we do not know Where or How to start, hence we lose motivation after a month of not seeing results plus boredom. The video will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know in starting a successful Workout Plan, to keep you motivated, and most importantly to achieve your GOALS!
For example how many days should I workout? How long for? How many repetitions and sets should I perform? What time of the day is best to workout? What exercises should I perform to lose weight? How long should I rest in between each set? How hard should I push myself? When will I see results? How important is my food intake?
All these questions will be answered in this video plus more nutritional and motivational tips as we work towards your goal in the next 8 weeks.
I’ve called the 8-week challenge the ‘Fit & Feminine’ workout! Just like most of you, I want to be fit but still feminine looking at the same time (not too muscular eh!)
There are 2 plans for you to choose from:
a) 3-day Workout Plan
b) 5-day Workout Plan
Both workout plans are as below. Please feel free to write them down and go through my ‘Workout With Me’ videos to perform these exercises. You may adjust the days according to what suits you best so long as you stick to exercising for either 3 or 5 days. They can be performed both in the gym or at home.

hi joannah am your new follower….. you really inspire so very much…. trying for inner thighs n waist
By far the best advice video I've seen. Yes it states a lot of things that we already know, but there is just something about the way you speak that is really motivating more than all those other videos. Maybe it's because this is the most realistic video I've seen.

Hello Joana! You really inspire me through this video. I just gave birth 7mos ago and i gained so much weight.. from 50kg to 61kg now. I really want to lose weight but in proper exercise. Can you give me a program/vid that i can follow? Like for example.. This video needs to be done on monday.. Then the other one is for tuesday.. Something like that? I hope you get my point. And i'm looking forward for your help. Thank you so much in advance! :)

Thanks Joana due to my split timing work everyday i guess it will suit for me the 3 days work out! Ill update u later! hagd! xx
In the 5 day plan, is it okay to swap exercise and rest days around? Thursdays are a bad day for me to work out for example, so it'd be easier for me to workout Wednesday and rest Thursday etc

Hi, I've been drinking green tea for like five days and I've been gaining weight. well I've been eating a lot but before i wasn't eating that much. I know I need to go back to eating weight watchers frozen meals because it works for me but it taste bad…how do I make myself eat something that I know is good for me??
Thank you for the tips and plan! I am trying to slowly cut down on sugar and processed foods. However I drink coffee almost every day and I've heard different opinions about the effects on health. I usually drink 1 or 2 cups a day…. Or more if I'm at college…

I have watched tons of exercise and dieting videos on here and yours is the only one that made me feel like I can actually accomplish my goals! Thank you so much!
So, for the 5-day Workout Plan, how should I warm up before the workout? And what kinds of workouts should I do or is it ok to just follow one of your workout videos?
Hey
The Shape Phase. The Shape Phase is the second phase of the F4X System. It’s designed specificaIIy to heIp you start buiIding more Iean muscIe whiIe simuItaneousIy Iosing fat.The BuiId Phase. The BuiId Phase is the third, and finaI, phase of the F4X System, and it most IikeIy won’t be for everyone. This phase was designed to maximize your buIk. I’m not even sure if I’II ever utiIize this phase. Iooking Iike ArnoId Schwarzenegger from back in the day is not my personaI goaI. Thanks…

This was so helpful!!
Joanna, thanks for giving me a clearer understanding. I appreciate how you break everything down in detail. I like, share & have subscribed.

I think I'm going to try the 3-day challenge this week and see if I have the drive for five days next! Thanks for this!
Anyone tried the Fenoboci Diet Plan? I have heard some incredible things about it and my cousin lost a lot of weight with Fenoboci Diet Plan (do a search on google).
So I usually run for 30mins first cause I usually not feel like running afterward and its make me feel great to run first. Am I wrong for doing this? Or can i keep doing this? Thanks!
You are Awesome!
My legs are hurting what should I do
struggling to lose weight?
