Workouts For Beginners

It just dawned on me that although we have a wide range of workouts for beginners (we do not railroad all beginners towards the same plan), there isn’t anywhere on our website that beginners can go to explore all their options in one place.

Well here it is, today I am making that place. Better late than never, right?

Who Are Our Beginner Workouts For?

It’s important to note—just in case you didn’t get the memo—Lipstick Lifters is all about lifting, so our workout plans are for women who are interested in weightlifting as their form of physical exercise.

Every single one of our plans is designed to make you physically stronger first. Anything else you want lifting to do for you will come as you work through the process.

You can; get strong, build muscle, burn fat, grow any muscle group you choose, or just simply enjoy unlocking a new level of empowerment that comes to all women as a result of lifting.

Lifting 101

The fundamental lifting exercises don’t change. That is true whether you’re an absolute beginner or a seasoned pro, it’s true whether you’re lifting for strength, size, or fun. It is also true if you’re bodybuilding, powerlifting or using any other approach to lifting.

In terms of the fundamental lifts, we’re talking about squats, deadlifts, overhead presses and bench presses.

Whether you’re powerlifting, bodybuilding or lifting for the sheer joy of it; these lifts will feature somewhere in your overall plan.

The barbell variation is the most powerful, but there are several dumbbell and kettlebell variations of these exercises that beginners can use to get started.

Wherever you start, you will be working towards those fundamental lifts. What shapes your direction and outcomes is everything else you do around those lifts.

Side note: The exception to this is Olympic Lifting, there’s a little more to Olympic lifts, we have a plan to get you started with that too.

Why We Don’t Give All Women The Same Beginner Workout

We are not here to railroad anyone, there is no best or ultimate plan that anyone in the entire world can define for everyone. The best plan for you is the one you can commit to long enough to reap the best results for yourself.

So with that in mind, we give women options.

As mentioned above, we’re all about lifting here. That’s not to say that there isn’t a better workout for you out there, there are several other sports you can explore, if you’re interested in a different sport, go and explore that. The only thing that matters is that you find what you love doing to remain physically active.

Lipstick Lifters is here to empower women through weightlifting, so the workouts we have for beginners are, by default, weightlifting workouts.

Your decision now is; which of these weightlifting workouts for beginners sparks your interest enough to get you up and working on it.
