Total Body Starter Strength Routine

Time to take a step back with our workouts.  Sure I've posted some great high intensity quick routines that may have some of you amped, but I see you back there... Despite reading over and over again the benefits of strength training, you just can't quite put a finger on where to start.  You've never lifted a weight in your life and you get to the gym thinking... "now I saw this in a magazine, I just put this leg over my head, bend the other knee slightly, twist with this arm... wait what??"  Don't worry we have all been there, and everyone has to start somewhere.  I've got just the plan to get you going and to move you towards the you that you just can resist.  The best part, now people will start looking to you for motivation.

This routine is a total body strength training workout that should be done 2-3 times per week.  Do not repeat this workout 2 days in a row as your muscles need the time to rest and recover.  If you have any questions, I'd love to help!

Start with 2 sets of 10-15 repetitions.  If you feel like you could do more, add weight.  If you feel like you will never get to 10 reps, decrease weight.



1.  Goblet Squat Against Swiss Ball
2.  Glute Bridges
3.  3 Point Stance Dumbbell Row
4.  Dumbbell Chest Press
5.  Lat Pulldown
6.  Standing Bicep Curl to Overhead Press
7.  Tricep Dips on Bench
8.  Bicycle Crunches
