Want to start exercising regularly, but not sure where to start? This do-anywhere plan has you covered. We've put together a seven-day workout schedule to get you through an entire week. You can do the complete plan at home without any special equipment. Use these moves to stay strong, feel great, and add Points® as you go.

Monday Muscles

Wake up and work your muscles with 3 sets each of curls and side raises. Not to worry if you don't have a set of dumbbells—unopened cans of beans, soup, or veggies can serve as makeshift weights.

Tuesday Tummy

Give your abs some attention with these midsection moves.

Wednesday Cardio

Thursday Thighs

Today is all about the legs. Start off with a simple squat.

Segue to lunges, alternating legs as you go.

Got a workout partner at home? Liven up your lunges with dual jumps.

Friday HIIT

Whether you exercise first thing, at lunch, or at the end of the day, a quick session of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can fire up your fitness level. To begin, do as many jumping jacks as you can in 60 seconds:

Then, take a 60-second breather. Next, do as many push-ups as you can in 60 seconds (there's an easier version and a tougher version):

Rest for 1 minute. Circle back to some of the exercises from earlier in the week, like squats and lunges, going hard and fast for 60 seconds and then resting for 60 seconds. Repeat for 20–30 minutes for a tough but effective workout.

Saturday Shimmy

Time to relax and cut loose. Put on your favorite tunes and dance around your home. You'll add Points®, plus moving to music is just plain fun.

Have weekend housework or gardening planned? Those activities count, too, so remember to track them in the WeightWatchers® app!
