How to Plan Your Weekly Home Gym Workout Schedule

Home workouts should be enjoyable, not an obligation to cross off your to-do list. When your routine is fun and easy, it becomes as automatic as your morning chai or that after-dark reel scroll. One of the joys of a home workout is the convenience, no drive time, no waiting for machines, and you control the playlist. With a little bit of forethought and a few essential pieces of gear, you can pack in the cardio, strength, and recovery all within the comfort of your own home.

Whether beginning a new or resuming an old pattern, here's a week-long guide you can follow and enjoy.

Monday - "Wake Up & Move"
Start the week off by walking or jogging for 30 minutes. If you have a folding treadmill like the UrbanTrek TD-M1, great, it will fold neatly into a corner, partner with an app, and is ideal for daily use.
Pro tip: Cue up your favorite playlist and don't miss the warm-up; your knees will be your friends later.

Tuesday - "Upper Body Power Hour"
Spend 20 to 25 minutes performing push-ups, shoulder presses, and dumbbell rows. Adjustable dumbbells allow you to train without using much space and are ideal for increasing over time.
Pro tip: Attempt each set to an entire song when the music ceases, so do you.

Wednesday - "Sweat Without the Bounce"
Hop on a rowing machine or cycle for 20-30 minutes. Both are gentle on your joints, but continue to raise your heart rate and improve endurance.
Pro tip: While you pedal, watch an episode of a 20-minute sitcom. By the time it ends, you'll have laughed and burned calories.

Thursday - "Legs on Fire"
Do squats, lunges, and calf raises. Keep your movements slow and controlled to register each rep.
Pro tip: Try to squat as many times as you can during one song. Beat that count next week.

Friday - "Speed Play"
Mix it up with treadmill intervals: 1 minute of fast running, 2 minutes of easy running, repeat for 20 minutes.
Pro tip: Act like you're late getting on a train when doing the "fast" intervals. It's a thing, we swear.

Saturday - "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once"
Combine upper-body and lower-body exercises, then top off with 10 minutes of foam rolling or stretching. This combination day balances your week and you'll feel refreshed.
Pro tip: Put on your favorite playlist and assign a different song to each exercise; the workout zooms by.

Sunday - "Chill but Still Move"
Enjoy a light walk, do some yoga, or have a relaxing day with friends and family. Active recovery is just as important as intense training.
Pro tip: Use this day to plan your meals and playlist for the week ahead; you’ll appreciate it on Monday.

Pro Tips to Stay Consistent

Keep your workouts short and sweet; 20-40 minutes is enough for most days.
Make gradual increases every week: an additional few reps, a bit of incline, or a few additional minutes.
Have your equipment in plain sight; out of sight, out of mind.

And don't forget, the most effective workout routine is the one you can stick to daily, even on busy days

A well-rounded home gym workout doesn't require exotic equipment.
