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.

Good morning Jules 🌄☕🌄 That was an absolutely awesome workout. I was actually laughing at the end when we were on the floor stretching. You hopped right us and started the hamstring stretch. I was a little wobbly getting up so I started laughing. 😂 (My ability to hop right up from the floor…those days are so far over for me)
I hope you have an amazing day and fabulous week ahead. 🌈☕🌈
Morning Jules loving this positive energy ❤❤❤❤❤
Again another great combo! I did first the Dance then the strength, Boymy legs could really feel those lunges and the reverse lunges were super great. Thank you Jules again and again, love your workouts!
This is another great workout. Loved the explanations and length. Will continue to do these 2 strength workouts. Thank you so much❤
Whew…made it through day two and sure to add this in to routine as you have suggested. I am thinking just two day a week , one for upper and one for lower with cardio the other days. Is that a good routine ?
