STRONGER from top to toe

Women’s strength training has gained in traction and popularity over the past few years – and for good reason. The benefits of strength training include, but are not limited to, keeping muscles and bones strong, strengthening joints, improving heart health and increasing resting metabolism. Plus, regular sessions can also improve body confidence and mental wellbeing – win, win!

Despite what you may have seen in the media, strength training does not need to involve complicated moves or high-tech equipment to be highly effective and empowering. By starting slow, with simple moves and a pair of dumbbells, you can increase strength while going at your own pace and gaining confidence in the moves. This full-body workout is designed to do just that.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab those dumbbells and get ready for a full-body burn.
