Day 2 LOWER BODY Strength Training for Women | Stronger Legs and Glutes

10  comments

Strength training is one of the most important things you can do to reverse the aging process, get strong and remain mobile. If you do strength training a minimum of twice a week, you'll build bone and muscle strength, create definition in the body, prevent falls and be able to get up and off the floor. Today is DAY 2 and we'll focus on lower body strength training exercises and building stronger legs and glutes. As women, staying strong is a necessity to aging gracefully.

In today's workout, we will go through 3 sets for each exercise. If you are brand new, start with 1 set, and build up over a few weeks to more sets. The last thing you want is to be so sore that you can't continue. Always start slowly. In 2-3 weeks, you can build up to doing 3 sets.

You can do this program for many weeks and even months. As the exercises start to become easy, start using a heavier weight. You might not be able to do 12 reps, and that's okay. Just do as many as you can (which might be 8-11 reps) until you can do more. You can also add on more sets if you wish (up to 4 or 5 even).

If you're used to working out with 'Improved Health', this is considered an intermediate level workout.
