Strength for Beginners

I have noticed there have been a lot of new faces in the gym looking to get fit and healthy but unsure of where to start. This program is designed to give you a clear direction and to help you get the most out of Function Well’s holistic offering.

Consistency is key when changing habits or creating change in your life. Eating an appropriate amount of whole foods to support your training load will also be essential, as will focusing on recovery and restoration, especially while your body is adapting to training.

In the first two weeks of training, the repetitions will be higher with a lighter weight with the intention that your muscles can begin to adapt to the exercises.

For the third and fourth week, the repetitions reduce with a slightly longer rest so that you can begin to increase the weight when you are feeling comfortable with your form and are developing confidence with the exercises.

The program includes the two strength sessions, two Function Well Classes as well as a yoga class. It will be incredibly important to warm up and recover properly so that your body can keep up with your training load.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
