Shape Up Size Down – Absolute Beginner’s Workout



Feeling a tad shy when it comes to exercising at the gym?  Is it sometimes too intimidating to run at a local track?
This second round of absolute beginner workouts, mirrors the first round in structure.  We have a total of six exercises, three being for the lower body and three for the upper body.  Our goal is to do 10-15 repetitions of each exercise and 2 circuits.  If you find that you can only do one circuit that’s still great!  Do what you can, and feel proud that you are taking charge of your health and fitness.  All you need is plenty of water, a yoga mat if you are on a hard surface, a light set of dumbbells and a chair.

 The start of creating a fitness habit is always the hardest.  We are asking you to commit to working out 5-6 days a week…you will see results.  Remember, the road to a healthy lifestyle is not just made up of weight training and cardio, but also with clean eating.
