STARTING INTO a workout routine
can be very intimidating. There are so
many things to consider, and you want to
be sure that your time spent exercising is
maximally beneficial. Here's a list of 10
beginner friendly workouts, plus a quick
rundown on how to get yourself off on
the right foot. PS: If you need more help
putting an effective program together, we
also have a 4-Week Program for Beginners!
1. LOW IMPACT BEGINNER
CARDIO WORKOUT - FEEL
GOOD RECOVERY CARDIO
The moves in this 26-minute workout
are all low impact and easily modified
to be easier or more difficult. It uses
exercises that build range of motion,
cardio endurance, coordination, control
of your own body and flexibility. It's also
a great starting point for burning fat and
building cardiovascular endurance.
2. LOW IMPACT CARDIO AND
ABS WORKOUT
As you can tell by the many low impact
routines on this list, they are a great place
to start when you're new to exercising,
and they give your body a chance to adapt
and get ready for more intense training.
This is a core and cardio combo that helps
you build a strong base while working
up a sweat (with no jumping at all).
3. 27 MINUTE BUTT, THIGH,
AND ABS PILATES WORKOUT
Pilates workouts like this one are a
great way for beginners to improve
core strength and to start to build a
mind body connection, which are both
imperative to being able to safely push

yourself during harder workouts. Need
an easier Pilates routine? Try this one. 7. 10-MINUTE BUTT AND
THIGH WORKOUT AT HOME
4. LOW IMPACT CARDIO
WORKOUT FOR BEGINNERS -
RECOVERY CARDIO WORKOUT
WITH NO JUMPING No Equipment - These 10 minutes
pack a punch, and are a great place
to start to get comfortable with basic
bodyweight exercises for the lower body.
There is no warm up or cool down
on this video; make sure you always
do both for every workout session.
This is one of my favorite low impact
routines. Even though I love HIIT and
strength, I love doing this workout on
days where I don't feel up to something
more brutal. It focuses on range of
motion and gentle cardio that makes
you feel wonderful. Warm up and
cool down are both included. Want
to start with something shorter? Try
this 10-minute cardio routine.
5. NO EQUIPMENT UPPER BODY
WORKOUT WITH WARM UP
AND COOL DOWN
Using only bodyweight, this antagonistic
routine is a great way to learn how to
engage your muscles and perfect form
before you start to add more weight.
Honestly, it can be very difficult to anyone,
as long as they're pushing themselves,
but because you're working against your
own strength, the difficulty is scalable.
Once you're comfortable with form,
strength training is an excellent way to
burn fat, build muscle, and get fit.
6. UPPER BODY STRENGTH AND
CARDIO INTERVAL WORKOUT
(WITH LOW IMPACT MODS)
Speaking of lifting, here's a great strength
training workout that will help build
muscle and boost your metabolism,
even while resting. Adjust as you
need to, always focusing on form.
8. AT HOME CARDIO
WORKOUT TO BURN FAT
AND TONE (HIGH AND LOW
IMPACT MODIFICATIONS)
Once you feel like you need more of
a cardiovascular challenge, try our
cardio workouts that show both low
and high impact mods; do the harder
version for as long as you can before
switching to the easier version.
9. FITNESS BLENDER'S FIVE-DAY
CHALLENGE - STRONG AND
LEAN
Day 1 This week long challenge takes
out all of the guesswork by laying out an
entire week's worth of workouts. These
workouts are intense, but both low impact
and advanced modifications are shown.
10. 3 DAY FLEXIBILITY
CHALLENGE DAY 1: FLUID
FULL BODY STRETCHES FOR
FLEXIBILITY AND STRESS RELIEF
Blow off stress, increase flexibility and
range of motion with this gentle 3-day
challenge that focuses on feeling good.
What now? How do you start and what do
you need to know before you jump in?
