This strength training workout is designed for beginners or for individuals who need a low impact workout because of knee or hip injuries. All of the moves are bodyweight moves, so you can do this strength training workout at home, the gym or even your hotel room. Remember when you are just starting out: listen to your body. If you feel sharp pain or extreme discomfort while you are working out, STOP! As I tell my clients (and myself), no workout is worth an injury!
If you are just starting out on your fitness journey, make sure you've consulted your physician to ensure you are ok to workout.
