Welcome to the beginning of the rest of your life with the Beginner’s Strength workout!
If you’re just getting started on your fitness journey, this workout is great for you.
It’s geared toward the beginning stages of a fitness journey and perfect for a busy schedule.
I call this one the Beginner’s Strength workout because you’ll hit all the major body parts. And these movements are the foundation for almost all other ones. Knowing how to do pushups without blowing out your shoulders and squats where you feel it everywhere is key to your success.
This one will take you about 30 minutes max to complete, from warm up to cool down.
If you are new to exercising, always consult a physician before starting an exercise plan. When you do this workout, you agree to the terms and conditions of this site.
Woohoo! Let’s get started!!
First, we start with a warm up. Warm up for at least 5 minutes before getting started.
Today’s workout is:
Since you’re short on time, keep the rest minimal between movements and rounds. This will also get your heart pumpin!
A couple pro tips.
Squats: sit back as you would into a chair. Think about pushing your knees out as if you had a resistance band around them. Keep that tension to use those butt muscles.
Pushups: don’t let those elbows come out to the side. Keep the elbows at about 45 degrees. They should be close to your body. See push-up picture below. And keep everything tight, including your legs, butt, and stomach.
Rows: if you don’t have a resistance band, you can use a suitcase, 2 purses, 2 water bottles filled with water, 2 cans of food, your baby or borrow one. You have many options here.
Don’t forget to cool down after!
