The best strength training exercises for women, combined in a challenging and effective full body strength workout. Compound exercises target the lower body, upper body and core in 30 minutes. This home workout is designed to build lean muscle, burn body fat and increase metabolism – all using just a set of dumbbells.
We are huge advocates of strength training around here. Resistance training workouts are some of the most effective workouts you can do – and my personal favorite kind of training.
Weight training is important for everyone, but especially for women (who have been discouraged from picking up weights in the past).
The muscle built through weight training is important for moving through everyday activities and reducing risk of injury. This is even more important as we age. We start losing muscle mass at age thirty, and strength training is one of the best ways to stay active through all seasons of life (Harvard).
Whether you’re looking to lose weight, build muscle, or improve athletic performance, this strength training workout is for you.
Note: this strength training workout is an updated version of one of our most popular strength training workouts we filmed a few years ago. You can find the original guided Weight Training For Women video here.
