Strength Training 101 Part One

If you are completely new to strength training, this is a great class to start with. You will need a chair, set of dumbbells (or something similar that can provide weight) and an exercise mat.

This class mostly contains exercises which target the shoulder, core, quads & glutes. You can do this class in conjunction with Strength Training 101 Part Two to target the full body. If you are unfamiliar with the Squat movement, please watch a tutorial here.

Everyone's starting point and progress is going to be completely different so it is important to work at a pace and level that you feel is appropriate to you. Stay on these two videos until you feel ready to progress. You should choose a set of dumbbells that you can perform at least 10 repetitions with excellent form but you feel have challenged your muscles. If you cannot complete 10 repetitions with good form without fatigue, please use a lighter set of dumbbells.
