How it Works

Complete 3–4 rounds

Do 10–15 reps of each exercise

Rest as needed, but aim to keep moving to get your heart rate up

The Workout:

1. Bent Over Rows

Great for strengthening your back and improving posture. Use dumbbells or a barbell and focus on pulling with your back muscles, not just your arms.

2. Squats (Goblet, Dumbbell, or Barbell)

Squats are the foundation of lower body strength. Choose the variation that works best for you and keep your chest tall as you sit back into your heels.

3. Kettlebell Swings

This powerful move builds strength in your glutes and hamstrings while also giving you a burst of cardio. Remember—it’s a hip hinge, not a squat.

4. Dumbbell Deadlifts

Deadlifts strengthen the entire backside of your body. Keep your core tight, hinge at the hips, and avoid rounding your back.

5. Inverted Rows

A great bodyweight move for back and arm strength. You can do these on a bar, TRX straps, or even under a sturdy table.

6. Band Pull-Aparts

Simple but effective for improving posture and strengthening your upper back. Keep your arms straight and control the band as you pull.

7. Incline Push-Ups

Push-ups made easier! Using a bench, bar, or even a wall helps you build chest and arm strength while keeping the movement beginner-friendly.

8. Lateral and Front Raises

A shoulder burner! Use light dumbbells and lift with control to strengthen your delts and improve shoulder stability.

Why This Workout Works

This routine balances upper body, lower body, and core movements, giving you a well-rounded strength foundation. The exercises are simple to learn but highly effective, so you’ll see progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Final Tip

Stay consistent, start with lighter weights to nail your form, and increase gradually as you get stronger. Most importantly—celebrate your progress along the way!

You got this!
