All you need is a set of dumbbells (you always can sub full water bottles if you don’t have dumbbells at home). Cue up your favorite music, press ‘play’, and let’s start sweating!
STRENGTH TRAINING is my #1 recommendation if:
➕ You’ve plateaued or aren’t seeing the results you’ve been looking for
➕ You’re a beginner + starting a fitness routine for the first time
➕ You’re recovering from an injury
➕ You’re a runner looking to build more strength
➕ You’re pregnant or postpartum
➕ You want a LOW IMPACT workout that still gets results
Strength training is the MVP of workouts when it comes to increasing your metabolism, building lean muscle, and losing weight. It’s time to get back to the basics with these 7 strength training exercises for women!
This workout utilizes COMPOUND EXERCISES (or exercises that engage multiple muscle groups at the same time) to help you get the most efficient workout in 30 minutes. You’ll hit the quads, hamstrings, glutes, biceps, triceps, back, shoulder AND core muscles — all in just 7 exercises.
Let me be your certified personal trainer at home!
I’m sweating through every rep of this dumbbell strength training workout with you — all you have to do press ‘play’ and follow along! Alternatively, you can work off the strength training exercises below at your own pace!
