30 minute total body strength workout

Are you ready to feel powerful and strong? In this 30 minute total body beginner strength workout we target our major muscle groups - upper body, lower body and core - without using any weights. We keep the moves simple and there are modifications for every level. No equipment necessary!  

Strength training is essential for keeping our bodies healthy and strong. Weekly strength training increases muscle mass and joint flexibility. It leads to stronger and denser bones, and better balance. 

We’ll start with a quick warmup, then transition into 4 circuits of 3 moves and finish with a cool down that includes static stretches. The total workout is about 30 minutes.
