Strength training is useful and beneficial for beginners. It comes with multiple benefits like higher calorie burn, more muscle, stronger bones and joints, reduced risk of injury during other workouts and better endurance. Pairing resistance workouts with cardio in one's exercise routine will further strengthen one.
Are you a beginner wondering where to start from? Keep reading this article on strength training for beginners to know more.
Given below is a list of the best strength training workouts for beginners.
Squats are one of the purest forms of strength training, and it exercises almost all parts of the core and leg muscles. Once one understands how to perform squats, one can add weights by holding dumbbells on a bar in front of one's shoulders. This is a front squat. One can rest a barbell on his/her back to perform a back squat. One can hold it in front of his/her chest to perform a goblet squat.

Who Should Avoid Squats?
Although the squat is an efficient workout for beginners, it should be avoided by some individuals.
It is one of the most efficient strength training workouts for beginners in which one lifts a loaded barbell or bar off the ground till it reaches the level of one's hips, keeping the torso perpendicular to the floor and then placing it back on the ground.
There are varieties of deadlifts like the traditional barbell, where one pulls the weight from the floor.
