Here’s a sample Full-Body Strength Training plan for beginners, focusing on major muscle groups:
Session Frequency: 2-3 times per week, allowing for rest days in between for recovery.
Workout Structure:
1. Warm-Up (5-10 minutes):
Light cardio (e.g., walking, jogging in place)
Dynamic stretches
2. Strength Exercises:
Squats: 3 sets of 10-12 reps
Push-Ups (modified if necessary): 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Lunges: 3 sets of 10 reps per leg
Planks: 3 sets, holding for 20-30 seconds each
Dumbbell Rows (using a light weight): 3 sets of 10 reps per arm
3. Cool Down (5-10 minutes):
Gentle stretching focusing on all major muscle groups worked
**Tips**
Focus on form over quantity to prevent injury.
Rest for 30-60 seconds between sets.
Gradually increase the number of reps or sets as you get stronger.
If a particular exercise feels too challenging, modify it or reduce the number of reps.
Always consult with a fitness professional or a physician before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any health concerns or conditions.
