    To build your muscles, weight train all of your major muscle groups at least 2 times a week. [4] Personal trainer and strength coach Brendon Rearick says to do 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions for most exercises.
    • Rearick recommends focusing on compound movements that work all of your muscles at once, like squats, bench presses, deadlifts, push ups, and pull ups.
    • Use a weight that feels like a challenge to lift at the end of your reps. If you can easily lift the weight by rep 10 or 12, use a heavier weight. [5]
    • Spend 5 to 15 minutes warming up before lifting weights .
    • We’ll go over the best exercises to incorporate into your routine in the section below!

    Cardio exercises help you lose body fat and reveal the muscles you’re building from weight training. Just get at least 150 minutes of moderate cardio exercise each week , such as by walking, biking, or swimming. [6]
    • Spread out your cardio exercise throughout the week by doing 20 to 30 minutes of cardio each day.
    • Do dynamic stretches before cardio to warm up your muscles. For instance, walk at a slow to moderate pace or do high knees , leg swings, or butt kicks . [7]
    • To burn more calories than traditional cardio exercises , incorporate HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workouts into your weekly routine. HIIT workouts involve short, 30-second bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by several minutes of less intense movements. [8]

    Certified personal trainer and nutritionist Pete Cerqua says “the ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fats I like to see [is] at least 50% protein in each meal…the other 50% is going to be made up of probably 40% carbohydrates and 10% fat.” He says the high ratio of protein is “what's needed for building muscle and burning fat.”
    • Lean protein includes chicken, turkey, salmon, tuna, eggs, tofu, chickpeas, black beans, and almonds. [9]
    • Complex carbs include whole grains (pasta, quinoa, brown rice), potatoes, corn, squash, lentils, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables. [10]
    • Healthy, unsaturated fats include avocados, nuts (almonds, cashews), seeds (pumpkin, sunflower), and olive oil. [11]

    If you’re at a healthy weight and want to maintain it, balance the amount of calories you consume with the amount of calories your body needs each day. If you want to lose excess fat, eat about 500 fewer calories each day. This can lead to a healthy weight loss of 1 pound (0.5 kg) per week. [12]

    Warm up and do 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps of each exercise: [15]
    • Bench press : Lie back on a bench with your feet planted on the ground about shoulder-length apart. Grip your hands around the barbell with your palms facing away, positioning them slightly wider than shoulder length. Lift the bar off the rack and lower it to your chest so your elbows bend outwards to just below the bench. Lift the bar straight up. Then, slowly lower it back to your chest. [16]
    • Incline bench press : Adjust a bench to a 40° to 60° incline. Sit back on the bench with your feet planted shoulder-length apart. Grab the barbell in an overhand grip (palms facing away), positioning your hands slightly wider than shoulder length. Lift the bar off the rack and lower it to your chest so your elbows bend outwards and line up with your wrists. Lift the bar straight up and then lower it back to your chest. [17]
    • Flys : Lie back on a bench with your feet planted on the ground shoulder-length apart. Grab a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing up. Lift your arms straight up and keep them shoulder-length apart. Slowly lower both dumbbells until they are level with your chest, all while keeping your arms straight. Then, raise the dumbbells back up so they’re straight above you. [18]
    • Dumbbell curls : Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length apart. Grab a dumbbell in one hand with your palm facing upwards. Press your elbow to your body and slowly lift the weight up to your shoulder. Keep your wrist straight and rigid and do not swing your arm or elbow. Then, slowly lower the weight back to position. Switch to your other hand when you finish the set. [19]
    • Note : Get a spotter to help you when doing bench presses.

    Warm up your body and do 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps of each exercise:
    • Deadlifts : Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart so your shins are almost touching the barbell. Certified personal trainer Melody Sayers says to “sit your butt back and stay heavy in the heels” while keeping your back straight and chest lifted upwards. Grab the barbell with one palm facing you and the other facing up. Press your feet into the floor as you sink back into your hips. Keep your back straight as you straighten your legs and bring the barbell off the floor. Pause and then lower yourself back into the starting position. [21]
    • Squats : Adjust a rack so the barbell is just below shoulder height. Lower yourself under the bar so it presses against your neck and the top of your back. Grab the bar so your palms face away from you and position them slightly wider than shoulder width. Stand up straight to lift the bar and take a step backward. Sayers says to “take a nice wide stance with [your] feet hip-width apart, and toes pointed straight ahead.” Then, “sit your butt back as if you are about to sit in a chair and keep all the weight heavy in the heels behind you…mak[ing] sure your knees do not come over the front toes.” Press your feet into the ground and straighten your legs to return to the starting position. [22]
    • Leg extension : Sit on the leg extension machine and adjust the seat so your knees rest against the edge and the bar so it rests against your shins. Then, raise your legs up to lift the bar. [23]
    • Calf raises : Stand about 1 foot (30 cm) away from a wall with your feet shoulder-length apart. Place your palms on the wall at about chest height. Lift both heels off the floor and pause before lowering them to the ground. [24]

Then, extend your arms back towards the floor. [26]

Personal trainer Landis Owens says “put your hands at shoulder width apart” on the bar and pull it “directly to your chest.” Press your shoulder blades together and extend your elbows behind you. Then, straighten your arms back to the starting position. [27]
