Functional Strength Training

57m
We are ready to add more strength training to our weekly routine!
To really build strength, we need to do certain exercises consistently, and we need to progress them over time. We can progress by doing more reps, sets, or increasing the weight or resistance we use.
To keep things simple, we don’t need a lot of equipment, but we are going to use a reusable shopping bag with books or other heavy (non-fragile) items to add resistance to our exercises.
We will still incorporate PWR! Moves as our warm up and cool down.
Remember - modify as needed. Don't do anything that doesn't feel safe. Use support as needed during standing exercises and use a chair for getting down on the ground and back up if you need it!
Equipment needed:
-Sturdy chair without arms
-Yoga Mat for the floor
-Workout towel for stretching and in case you break a sweat!
-Light Hand Weights (1-3 lbs) or something similar!
-Reusable Shopping Bag with books or something heavy in it!
-Water bottle
