When it comes to women’s specific weight training, full body workouts make a lot of sense.
For one, women seem to have an accelerated recovery rate when compared to their male counterparts. Some of which can be explained by their relative intensity levels, natural muscle distribution, favorable mobility, and hormone profile.
All that, and let’s be real for second, women are tougher than men.
Reason number two, and as a result of reason number one, the increased training frequency leads to better muscle tone, strength, and leaner physiques.
So, if that sounds like something you’re personally interested in keep reading.
Outlined below is the best full body workout program for most (healthy) women.

Outlined below are 4 full body workouts perfect for women looking to build lean muscle , lose fat, and increase strength.
As written, the program can be performed in an every other day fashion where you rotate the workouts each day you go to the gym.
Alternatively, you can perform the workouts on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (or in a 2 days on/1 day off fashion).
Each workout is broken up into a primary workout. These are the exercises that are necessary to perform on that training day. For your rest periods, you’ll want to rest anywhere between 45-90 seconds. For larger lifts, such as squats, you may want to take the full 90 seconds.
After the primary workout on each day is an additional optional workout you can perform immediately after your primary full body workout. These additional workouts isolate the glutes, core, and arms. For your rest periods with these exercises, limit them to 30 seconds.
The reason for the two glute isolation workouts is due to the common goal among women to grow their glutes. This is best achieved through training the glutes at least 4 times per week, with two of the glute workouts being isolated-focus with higher repetitions.
Any of these additional bonus workouts can be altered in any way that best fits your own individual goals.
The above workout is a great full body workout for women that can be used regardless of your goal.
The set up of the program allows you to maximize your results in the gym - whether you are looking to build lean muscle, burn fat , increase your strength, or a combination of all of those goals.
The workout can be altered in any way necessary to fit your goals and the availability of equipment you have at your gym.

Thank you for this resource. Is there an intermediate version?
Not as of now, but there may be one in the near future. In the meantime, you can add sets or pair exercises up as supersets to make them more challenging.
This program is for beginners, what or which exercises could change in this program to be intermediate or advanced?
Find challenges that you find to be challenging and switch them with easier exercises in the program.
Do you recommend doing all sets on one exercise before going onto the next? And you rest 45-90s between sets ?
Correct on both, Tina. Start with 90 seconds rest, and decrease by 5-10 seconds when you feel you're capable to.
Thank you for the awesome workouts and references on you site. After I have completed this 10week program, what do I do next?
thank you
Hello, Marrium. What are your main goals? I want to point you in the right direction.
I am about finished with the 10 weeks. What should you do when the 10 weeks are up? Should you do totally new workouts?
Thanks!
Hi, Tricia. After you take a week off (you deserve it), figure out what your next goals are, and then pick a workout accordingly. If you don't mind sharing what you would like to do after this program, I can help you choose one that would suit your future goals.
Hi Roger, is 4 times a week ideal? I thought you should keep 1 day of rest before targeting a muscle again. But if you workout 4 times that’s not possible. What days would you recommend to workout?
Hi, Amber. Since each muscle isn't doing a lot of work, then following a workout like this would be okay. Training two days in a row with one day off in between would work. So a sample workout split may look like this.
Day 1 - Workout 1
Day 2 - Workout 2
Day 3 - Off
Day 4 - Workout 3
Day 5 - Workout 4
Day 6 - Off
Day 7 - Either take this day off too or start over with Workout 1.
Hi! I don’t have a barbell at home, but I have a bench, lg. varying range of dumbbells, kettlebells, and various other equipment. Can I still do this workout or do you feel I should choose one which doesn’t require a barbell? I could purchase one with weight plates, but don’t trust it without a spotter. I can get someone to spot me if I do this at my gym but need to get more familiar with lifting first. Thank you!!!
Hi, Suzanne! Dumbbells and kettlebells would work. Once you feel more comfortable, add the barbell and plates to the home gym. In the meantime, the alternative versions will be fine to do.
Would you suggest adding any cardio into these? I absolutely hate cardio, but would you suggest doing it on a different day or adding it in during the workout?
Hi, Tara! You could add 20 minutes of cardio first thing in the morning or post-workout if you like. Also, I suggest signing up for the fat loss course at the top of the article. That info can benefit you as well.
So is this a 10 or a 12 week program?? The text of the article states 12 weeks and the workout summary states 10 weeks
Hi, Andria. Honestly, you can do it for ten or 12, but I believe the original plan was for this to be a 10 week program.
I’m a 43 year old female, been lifting heavy for 20 years, I want to build muscle, what rep/set range should be used in a 3/4 day programme and as you build strength do you aim for same rep range but with heavier weights? Thanks so much.
Hi, Caroline! For upper body, the rep range should be 8-12. For legs, go with a rep scheme of 12-15. Once you can get max reps with certain weight, then yes, go up. Hope this helps!
I am getting back into strength training after some time off. In workout 1, is any squat variation sufficient? The link takes me to the barbell back squat and I don't feel ready for it at this point. Thank you!
Hello and great question. If you're not comfortable with the barbell squat, use a machine version or do goblet squats with a dumbbell or kettlebell if you like. Hope this helps!
Can these exercises be altered for someone who has MS. So stability is an issue with some of these exercises. Thanks.
Hi, Mike. Replace any movement that is difficult with a machine or cable version. There are plenty of choices to consider in the Exercises section for you to consider. I also suggest talking to a physical therapist to get some expert advice specifically for MS.
Hello, do you do the same routine for 10 weeks ? Or do u need to sign up to receive updated routine schedule every few weeks ?
Same routine for all ten weeks, Gaby!
I have been looking at starting either this work out or the split one. I have experience in the gym with lifting but have fallen off of a while so building strength again. Of course wanting to build strength and lower body but also lose fat for sure as currently overweight (knowing this stems from nutrition mostly). But Which do you think would be most ideal? I am used to split training but I can see why this would be good too so I’m torn.
Hi, Christina. Go with this one until you feel like you're ready to jump back onto a split program. You will be pleased with the results if you're not used to full-body sessions.
Recommendations to adapt a full body routine to 2 days a week?
Hi, Cheryl. Do Workout 1 and 2 during one week, and 3 and 4 the next week.
Hello,
I’m interested in starting this workout next month as it looks great.
My goal is to build muscle and not lose fat. Should I follow the same workout but just eat more or increase reps or weight and eat more?
Also I was wondering if I want to build back muscles, on which days could I add some lat/trap/delt exercises please?
Thanks a lot for posting the workout
Hi there. There are actually back exercises in this program already. If you want to add one to each workout, go to the Exercises section and click on the Upper Back section. You can find one that will work for you based on the equipment you have access to.
I have been using this for the past couple weeks and I already see a lot of improvement thank you for putting this out there for new people that haven’t ever lifted weights before this program u got here is amazing thank you!

I forgot to ask, how do i increase the weight that i will be lifting? Do i depend on my own strength? Or do i start low even if i can lift heavier? I used to lift 2.5kgs barbell, then up to 5kgs then now i can do 7.5kgs. With free weights. With machines for example the leg press, before i used to do 9kgs but now i jumped to 18kgs. Is that safe? Or am i straining my muscle to much? Thanks again! This content is amazing.
Hey Cristina - the weight you use should be something you can move safely with proper form for the given number of reps. After each set, you should have 1-2 reps left in the tank.
Hello, I’m 29 years old with BMI of 32. I was browsing, going through every workout specified to target certain muscle groups using different equipments to try to formulate my own workout routine, and it’s hard, because it’s a lot to learn and choose from, but finding your readily formulated workout routine is like finding gold! I’m so excited to try this routine! I’m going combine it with calorie deficit, IF and i’ll watch my macros too. Make sure to eat protein with balanced fiber, also, lots and lots and lots of water! Thank you so much!
I like the look of this programme but I’m a beginner. Do I do all three sets of the same exercise before I move to the next exercise on the list.
Hey Jess - yes, you'll do all sets of one exercise before moving on to the next.
Hi! If m’y goal it is to reduce my lower body not to grow, should I workout lifting heavy or more reps ? Or should I focus more on my upper body ?? I wanna reduce my legs so bad
Hey Daniela - losing weight is heavily impacted by your diet and being in a caloric deficit.
Liking the program so far! Does it matter what sequence I do the workouts in? For example, on day 1 can I switch it to lower body (squat) then upper body (overhead press) then lower body (leg press), etc? Sometimes equipment is not available and I make do with what’s available in the moment. also gives me a rest since lower body focus is intense.
Hey Kaysheegibs - ideally you'll follow the program in the order it's written, but yes, you can switch up the movements if needed.
I've been following this workout for about 3 weeks. I normally warm up on the treadmill for 15 min before lifting is that ok?? Also I have thick thighs and want to slim them down big time. I have been tracking macros to get body fat down. I'm 5'4, 135lbs with 23% body fat. Are these workouts going to make my thighs appear larger than they already are? I'm also 50 years old
Can I do cardio before or after these workout sessions or would that be too much cardio? How would you incorporate cardio with this routine to promote fat loss but preserve muscle
Hey Giovanna - you can add in cardio after your workout routine. Remember that diet plays the largest role in losing weight.
Can I superset these exercises instead of doing straight sets?
Hey VJ - it's best to follow the program as written.
Hello.. can you explain why it’s better to follow the program rather than superset ? I often superset to save time. Please explain it there is a physical reason not to do so. Thank you !
“Women are tougher than men” you think it’s women empowering to compare and put a gender over an other? Or to actually believe that? What if what was a male that said males are tougher than women. Women would be triggered.

Women’s bodies are different than that of men and thus they need a different approach and stimulus for them to develop. Thus, a workout plan for women needs to be developed considering that difference.
The powerhouse of the body, the core, back, and glutes need to be trained first if you are just starting your fitness journey. That gives you the stability and strength you need to carry out the exercises for achieving your fitness goals. Every good workout routine for women has a focus on core strengthening in its initial phase.
The old belief that women should just do a lot of cardio and nothing else has been debunked by many trainers and coaches. Yet there are many workout programs all over the internet that reeks of the half-baked knowledge of the compilers.
To save you from getting exposed to such fruitless programs and to save your time that you would have spent otherwise in searching for the right program for you, we have included many workout routines on our portal that are specifically designed for women. These are also sorted based on the fitness goals and equipment required to make it further easier for you to shortlist what exactly you need.
A female workout plan starts with building a solid foundation by slowly easing into the workout regime through cardio, core strengthening, and leg workouts. As you progress through the program the intensity varies. This changed intensity is aimed to utilize your improved strength to accelerate the results of your workouts.
Every workout plan we present to you here is developed by well-qualified fitness trainers and practitioners. Each female workout routine you will find on our website has passed through scrutiny from many fitness experts. All these workout programs have been used by many women in the past and they can swear by the effectiveness of these programs.
Doing any exercise for around 30 to 45 minutes a day is beneficial for your health. But if you have something specific target to achieve like weight loss, muscle gain, toned butt, or hourglass figure then you must have a well-built workout plan that is capable of guiding you to achieve it.
Every fitness goal needs a different plan for working out and a complimenting diet plan to go with it. If you need to lose weight you need to do more cardio exercises and follow a calorie deficit diet and on the other hand, if you wish to get that hourglass figure and need to put on and gain some mass in your glutes you might have to follow a protein-rich diet and focus on resistance training of big muscles.
No matter what your fitness goal is, no matter if you are a beginner looking out for a generic workout plan meant for women or if you have some specific goal, we have a workout routine that suits your need. Start with basics and move on to the advanced stuff. Every workout will help you be a better version of yourself.
