Build strength with guided workouts, then refuel with healthy recipes using this free, 2-week workout and meal plan. This is a complete workout routine, hitting all the major muscle groups in around 30 minutes a day. Bonus: this 14-day challenge also includes a free meal plan full of healthy, family-friendly meals created by dietitians.
When it comes to increasing overall fitness levels and building muscle definition, I believe there are two main factors people commonly neglect:
Following a plan. Following a structured workout plan is important for adequate muscle recovery and well-rounded training. It also encourages progressive overload, which is necessary for muscle growth.
Prioritizing protein. Protein provides the amino acids necessary for repairing and rebuilding the muscles after strength training workouts, leading to muscle growth. I personally aim for 30 grams of protein at each meal.
We’re making it easy for you to follow a plan with this 2-week workout challenge designed to help you build strength at home.

The 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines recommends adding 1.5 cups of pulses per week to your diet, or 1/2 cup serving three times a week (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).
Pulses are also a great way to fuel and recover from workouts because they:
Are a great source of protein, fiber, iron and potassium
Help maintain a healthy body weight
Reduce post-meal “crashes”
Reduce the risk of chronic diseases
Help maintain heart health

Workout Program Details
1. Gym Equipment Needed:
A Set of Dumbbells. Most of the daily workouts require a set of dumbbells. Each weight training workout will have a recommended dumbbell weight, usually between 8-20 pounds. You want a weight heavy enough that your last few reps are a struggle, but you are still able to complete the workout with good form. Shop my dumbbells here (DISCOUNT CODE: NMLTF5).
Option to add a set of mini loop resistance bands (discount code: NML) and a kettlebell.
2. Time Requirement:
Workouts are 15-40 minutes a day, 6 days per week. You can always take more rest days as needed.
If you’re reducing workout days to accommodate a running schedule or make this plan beginner friendly, I recommend narrowing it down to 3 days of workouts, focusing on:
(1) Leg Workout
(1) Arm Workout
(1) Full Body Workout
3. Fitness Level:
Intermediate to advanced, with modifications offered for all fitness levels in the daily workout videos.
If you’re looking for a full body workout plan for beginners, follow our Beginner Workout Plan.
If you need to adjust this plan for pregnancy/postpartum, modifications are noted next to the daily workouts to make this fitness plan accessible for all fitness levels. If I don’t recommend a workout for pregnancy, I’ve linked an alternative, pregnancy-friendly workout.
4. Cost:
FREE! No sign up needed, this is a FREE Workout Plan.
Workout and Meal Plan FAQs
I believe the best workout plan is one you can stick to in the long-term. A well-rounded weekly workout routine includes cardiovascular exercise, strength training, mobility, daily steps and rest days to promote overall fitness and well-being.
If you’re regularly working out and looking to gain muscle, you need to be fueling your body with high-quality sources of protein. A popular guideline is to aim for one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. I personally aim for 30 grams of protein at each meal. Popular sources of protein include lentils, tofu, eggs, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken breast, and beef. You can supplement your protein intake by adding protein powder/protein shakes or protein bars to your diet.
