Know you should be strength training, but only want to do the bare minimum at home?

This one's for you.

When it comes to strength training, more is not always better. And, you really do have to complete a minimum "volume" of work each week in order to see some progress.

That being said, my preference is that all women strength train three times every week, following what's called a "split" program. This means that each of the three workouts are different, addressing different muscles and movement patterns. Now, that's ideal. Each workout would include around 24 total sets of exercises, addressing all of the major muscle groups of your body, split up amongst the three different workouts.

If you want to truly transform your body through strength training, three to four workouts per week is ideal.

While three to four strength workouts are ideal, I know that you may not have the time or interest in that much time in the gym. You know that strength training is critical to your health and the only way to change your body, but are only able to fit in two workouts per week.

Any strength training is better than none. You can still reap great benefits with as little as two strength workouts per week.

This Bare Minimum Strength Workout is the perfect option for you and will help you...

• Improve neuromuscular facilitation
• Make modest improvements in muscular strength
• Improve stability and strength around joints
• Combat stress and elevated cortisol levels
• Create a solid strength foundation to build upon in the future
