Strength Training for Every Fitness Level

Written by Echelon instructor Sam

Strength training isn’t just for bodybuilders—it’s for everyone! Whether you’re new to fitness or a seasoned pro, building strength is key to improving performance, supporting your joints, and boosting overall health. Here’s how you can approach it at any level:

• Beginners: Start with bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, and planks. Focus on form and consistency—small steps lead to big gains!
• Intermediate: Add light to moderate weights or resistance bands. Incorporate compound moves like lunges, deadlifts, and rows to target multiple muscle groups.
• Advanced: Challenge yourself with heavier weights, tempo changes, or advanced variations (hello, single-leg deadlifts!). Track your progress to stay motivated and push limits safely.

Strength training is about progress, not perfection. No matter where you start, every rep brings you closer to a stronger, healthier you. So grab those weights and let’s get to work—you’ve got this!
