The New Healthier You Fitness Plan, Day 2: Total-Body Strength

Welcome back to The New Healthier You Fitness Plan. On day 2 of each week, we’ll focus on developing total-body strength.

Workout 2 incorporates the use of a sturdy chair (you may also want a mat or a towel for the floor work), and utilizes some basic, but extremely effective, bodyweight strength moves.

Beginners, follow along using just your bodyweight. If you are a more experienced exerciser, feel free to do the moves with dumbbells. And be sure to listen for options during the workout to keep it more simple or to make the moves more advanced.

Beginners, try the following circuit once through. Once you feel ready to try more, work your way up to 3 rounds of the circuit in total—you can do them all at once or break them up throughout the day into 3 separate 10-minute sessions. Both options offer great benefits.

*Beginners, feel free to repeat round 1 moves again if round 2 moves are too tough today. Note: The interval durations above are an estimate.
