Description
Lifting weights not only strengthens your muscles, it can also provide cardiovascular benefit, improve your balance, provide muscle tone, increase your metabolism (so you burn more calories at rest), improve mental health and much more! This full body weights workout plan is best used if you have access to free weights (dumbells and bars), weight machines, stability ball, and plyo boxes.
Each week is broken down into 4 workouts based on different muscle groups. Each workout includes 6-10 exercises with rep and set recommendation for your targeted muscle group(s). Workouts should take 40-60 minutes depending on how much rest you take between sets.
