3-day fat-loss split

3 days Beginner

This three-day plan is built for training in a calorie deficit: enough resistance work to keep the muscle you have, paced with circuit-style sessions to raise energy output. A strength day, a circuit day, and a lower-body-and-core day cover the week.

Each day below is a full session with sets, reps, and rest. Open a day to see the exercises, log it free online, or import it into Mekimeki as a reusable template. Fat loss is driven by diet; training protects muscle and adds output.

What is the best training split for fat loss?

One you can keep up in a deficit while holding on to muscle. A three-day mix of strength and circuits is a practical choice: strength work preserves muscle, circuits add energy output, and three days is sustainable.

Does this plan burn fat on its own?

No plan does. Fat loss comes from a calorie deficit. This routine keeps your muscle and adds training output while your diet drives the deficit.

How many days a week is it?

Three training days a week, which leaves room for recovery and daily activity while dieting. You can add walking or light cardio on the other days.
