Here’s a Monthly Men's Fat Loss Workout Schedule For Beginners

There is no difference in both the workout program except in the reps. You have to do 12 to 15 reps in the beginner Fat loss program instead of 6 to 8 reps. 

You may think that this is very limited exercise and everyone wants to do more exercise because of rain of adrenaline in your brain.

But, believe me if you do more reps in muscle gain or fat loss program, you will put a lot of unnecessary strain on your muscles. 

As you're beginner, your muscles are not mature enough to grow without any injuries such as stretch marks and muscle spasm.

Important Notes:

This is the simplest beginner program on the internet but there are also some cons if you're a totally new to gyming.

Make sure you perform proper warm-up before doing exercise for any body- part describe as above otherwise in order to complete repetition, you will injured yourself. 

As first, you won't be able to perform 6-8 or 12-15 reps in some exercise or you have difficulty in balancing a barbell and your body position.

If you follow how to perform section under each exercise table correctly, then you won't have more problems in beginner.

I suggest you to start with very low weight until you are not able to do every exercise with correct form because I saw many gym enthusiastic who doing gym for years but body position and tempo are not perfect.

If you start following this program then make sure you track your weight and reps for each body part for whole month. So, after a month you can follow intermediate workout plan.
