30 Minute Beginner Workout
This workout is for those that want to move their body, but keep it simple. No fuss, no frills.
A 30 minute beginner workout, that is all bodyweight, low impact, and no equipment. This can be done in any space that you can move forward, backward, right and left a couple of steps in. There is the option for a mat or towel if you’d prefer for some of the floor exercises.
The workout breakdown:
Warm-Up: 5 minutes - 8 movements, 30 seconds each. Dynamic movements to warm up your body and get your heart rate slightly elevated. Flowing from one to the next. 1 minute rest after the warm-up before jumping into the main body of work.
Circuit 1: 10 minutes- 8 movements 30 seconds each. After movement 8, rest for 1 minute and repeat the whole circuit again. Rest 1 minute before movement onto circuit 2. All low-impact but focusing on larger muscle group and hitting all the major muscles.
Circuit 2: 10 minutes- Just like circuit 1. 8 movements, 30 seconds each. Repeat the circuit once. Option to rest 1 minute before going into the cooldown or jump right in. Some larger muscle movements, but also adding in core-focused movements.
Cooldown: 5 minutes- 9 movements, holding for 30 seconds each. Goal is to bring your heart rate down and settle into these stretches.
Why bodyweight training? Training with your bodyweight is an incredible way to build up your foundational strength. They help us with our daily movements, like sitting in a chair, lifting a heavy box, or pushing a couch. Bodyweight training is incredibly beneficial and a great place to work into movements.
You can always add dumbbells to some of the movements to add an extra layer of spice. You do you!
