Why would you need a workout for beginners?

If you are just starting out with exercising, you shouldn’t be overwhelmed with all the resources available to you from the internet and all other types of media. As a beginner, it is important to know the basics of exercising and weight loss. Some people might get too overexcited and jump into some advanced workouts to fast track their results. I am telling you know, in exercise, there is no shortcut.

Everyone must go through it the long and hard way. It is only through this journey that you will truly reap out the benefits of all your effort. Now I came up with a workout for beginners that will just guide you through the basics so that you have something to start with.

For starters, you don’t even have to go to the gym and experiment on all those fancy equipments. No running one to two hour marathons which as a beginner will surely just kill you. You can do all these workouts in your own home, just find a room where you have ample space to do some minor exercises.

First off I would recommend some jumping jacks. Not a lot of people will recommend this although for beginners it surely is an easy exercise to do and targets your lower calves, not to mention makes you sweat real fast. I would recommend you do around 3 sets of 20 and increase the number of reps and sets as you go along.

Next I would recommend you do some push-ups. This targets almost your entire upper body and is simple enough for anyone to do. Those of you who are having a hard time doing this can lean on your knees instead of your toes to lighten the load on your arms. I recommend you do around 3 sets of 10 and again slowly increase the numbers as you go along.

The third exercise I would recommend for any beginners are squats. You don’t need some heavy weights to do squats. Simply raise your arms forward so that they are about parallel from the ground and just simply bend down until your thighs are parallel with the ground. Do about 3 sets of 10 and increase the intensity as you feel more comfortable.

Lastly, let’s close our workout with some simple stomach crunches. Simply lie back on the floor, put your hands behind your back and just bring your body towards your knees. Do not bring your body all the way to your knees but just approach it until your body forms a 45 degree angle with the ground. Do 2 sets of 15 for this and increase in the following weeks.

There you have it. These four exercises are simple enough for anyone to follow and targets more or less your whole body. Do this workout for beginners for about 4-8 weeks before you switch into the more advance training. Whether your goal is to build muscles or lose stomach fat, this simple workout is designed to address both and provide good results with little complexity and effort.
