For Beginners ONLY workout

Cindy and I have had several requests for a REAL beginner workout. A workout that is for someone who is just stepping into their fitness journey. Everyone has that period in their story where they are new and feel scared and intimidated. We remember how it felt to walk into that fitness class where everyone was dressed to perfection and looked like they knew what they were doing….it’s AWFUL!!! It’s like being that kid in the cafeteria wandering around with their tray just looking for someone to make eye contact with to offer a kind glance and a place to sit. Ugh! Some things never change!!! If this is ringing true for you, then you’ve found a place to sit in the cafeteria! This is a beginner workout that is geared to just get your body moving for 10 minutes. That’s it. Don’t be afraid, don’t be intimidated, I’ll be with you from minute one to minute ten. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Water Jug & Towel Full Body Workout

I’ve always said that working out is more about my mental well being than my physical fitness. Obviously, there are many physical benefits to staying fit and I strive to embrace them all. But my biggest benefit for working up a good sweat is the mental health component. The endorphines that are released after a good workout are soooooo crutial to my keeping a positive state of mind. And so during this time of sheltering in place I wanted to create a workout that would not only benefit you physically, but would also help you release those endorphines that will benefit you mentally. So, no excuses! Grab your water jug (laundry jug, drink pack, kettlebell) and towel and let’s get moving together with the video below!

So, put down your weights and grab a friend. I promise you will feel the leg burnout!

Get ‘er done full body workout

Resistance training is such an important part of any exercise routine because it is the one thing that allows you to build lean muscle. Why do we like lean muscle, you ask. Well, for me its two fold; one-muscle is metabolically active so your metabolism gets a boost and helps you burn fat (yippee!) and two-muscles help keep you strong for all your daily functional activities. It’s like we say, HEALTHY LIFE, HAPPY LIFE! Total body workouts are always a winner for me because I am hitting all my major muscle groups in one workout. You throw in strength/resistance training with some cardio and abs and you have hit the trifecta!
