Monday – HIIT, strength training after – UPPER (arms mainly assisted pull-ups)
Tuesday - OFF
Wednesday – HIIT, strength training after – MID (3 sets 25 reps crunches, leg raises, flutter kicks, pushups)
Thursday - OFF
Friday – HIIT, strength training after – LOWER (legs)
Saturday - FREE DAY
Sunday - 2 MILES (run/walk)

HIIT is high intensity. The highest l am doing right now is running at 10 mph at 3% incline for about 45-60 sec and that is a killer. If it is not that then l run at 12 mph at 0% incline for the same amount of time.

FREE DAY is l go to the gym but l do whatever l want, even if it is walking on the treadmill at 2 mph, lol anything but l stil go.

My goal is to burn the fat covering my abs. l can see them just a little bit, but there is improvement needed.

Do you think this is a good workout? l am open to any suggestions, ideas or comments that is why l am asking. If you think you know something l may not then please share. l wanna improve my workout.

By the way l am 16 female and pretty short (5''1) so l do not have a long stride. l am 115-8 lbs if it helps...

Thanks and will choose a best answer.

Yes. That looks good. You may want to run a little bit more though.

l would say ur Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Sunday workouts r fine, but Tuesday, Thursday, & Saturday should change. l would say on those three days off, u should do a light jog maybe for ten minutes because not doing anything for a day wo not help. Also, one day of abs wo not do the trick probably as fast as u would like it. l do abs 5x a week with at least 4X25 reps of various exercises to work my abs, but the results r not comming fast. My suggestion is to do abs 4x a week AT LEAST & do a little more running. Also, l recommend u use those off days for a light workout to keep the blood flowing, but nothing thats going to get u sore.

Overal l say ur workout is balanced & good, but l believe u should add a little bit more to it, so u r working out everyday & that u r working ur abs more often. If u do not do it everyday, its easy to forget a day & just give up. But most of all, make a workout that u will enjoy & one that u will stick to because that is what will make the difference.

l like the strength training stuff..its my philosophy on running that a little slower & more distance will benefit u more as far as fat burning..although l cant imagine that u really have a lot of fat to burn..if u run longer ur metabolism will be elivated for em extended period of time & u will continue t burn calories for some time after u workout. so l would keep up the strength training & alter the running aspect slightly. try running like 8 mph for 10-15 min intervals or just run 3-5 miles at a comfortable pace. this will allow better fat burning. if u run a short period at an intense pace u will just produce lactic acid & it is more of a muscle building activity rather than a fat burning activity.

what are you training for? If it is for track then it is good conditioning work. how many reps are you doing? Whatever you do just make sure that you improve over time. By the way, turn one of those 2 mile runs into a 3 or 4 mile run and you are set.

Is your only goal to lose some weight? Or are you training for anything specific? It would be really hard to answer this without this info.

Do not forget diet in addition to your training plan. That can help/hurt you just as much as the training, especially if you are trying to lose some weight.

Good luck!
