Hello from the BurnFit team! ❤️
For every woman starting her fitness journey: we’ve curated a tailored workout routine specifically for you. If you’re new to the gym scene, our specially designed routine offers a welcoming introduction to fitness.
Many beginners often ask us, ‘Where should I start?’ or ‘Gym equipment seems so intimidating’. As a result, many find comfort solely on the treadmill.
Though treadmills provide an effective workout, a lot of women enter gyms with the goal of achieving a toned and sculpted body – something that’s often showcased on TV and is usually the result of resistance training. With this in mind, we’ve crafted a foundational full-body workout focusing on body weight and dumbbells, ideal for those just beginning their journey.
If you’re stepping into the gym for the first time and trying new exercises, it’s crucial to focus on the correct movements. If in doubt, there are plenty of YouTube tutorials to help refine your technique.
Why Choose Body Weight and Dumbbells?
Exercises utilizing body weight leverage your own mass, laying the groundwork for building core muscle strength. On the other hand, dumbbells are particularly beginner-friendly. They provide a greater degree of flexibility in weight adjustments than barbells, enabling a gradual and consistent strength progression. While gym machines have their merits, mastering foundational dumbbell exercises is often the best starting point for those new to resistance training.
