Level Up! Progressive Strength Training for Beginners & Seniors
Here is the perfect video to track your strength gains! Don't worry, this is NOT a really long workout. There are three workouts in one with the same warm up and cool down.
Everyone begins with level 1. Below is the workout structure as well as the size weights that I'm using for this workout. My weights are for reference only and will be different for everyone. Once level one feels too easy and you are completing all the reps with proper form, then you can move to level 2. Each level will add more resistance, or time, or a challenge. We will build upon the same exercises in each level. You will return to this video repeatedly to track and increase your strength in a progressive overload format.
I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to comment with what weights you used, that way you'll be able to reference your comment and manage your progress!
