This full body beginner workout is sure to get you going. The hardest part of working out is actually getting started. The gym can be intimidating. Exercises you try in magazines are way too hard. You aren’t exactly sure what you are doing or don’t have the confidence to actually do it.

Take it step by step. Â Start small! I have developed this full body beginner workout to jumpstart your workout program and give you confidence.
