These workouts for beginners will help you get in shape!
Tired of finding workouts that are too hard and do not have any modifications? Skinny Ms. has put together workouts designed for those people who responded to our question on Skinny Ms. Fitness Facebook about wanting Absolute Beginner Workouts. These workouts are put together with modified and simple exercises that are not overly intensive and are doable for anyone, regardless of size or age.
For those of you who find our daily workouts or Tabatas are too difficult, these workouts are for you! We want to help get you on the road to being in amazing shape and more importantly, healthy! If you have already started your weight loss journey we would love for you to join us in this series of beginner workouts.
This is the first of the Absolute Beginner Workout Series. The workouts will be slightly more challenging each time. For each workout we will have an “Absolute Beginner” version and a “Beginner” version. We have an Absolute Beginner workout for people who chose not to use weights and prefer the exercises sitting or laying. Then we also have just regular Beginner versions.
In the Absolute Beginner Workout we will have six exercises. You will need little or no weight, you can also use water bottles if you like, a yoga mat, a chair, and a wall to lean against! Our goal is 10-15 repetitions per exercise and 2 rounds of this circuit.
Here’s a stretching video to get you ready for this workout:
Absolute Beginner’s Workout:
1. Donkey Kicks
2. Sitting Leg Extensions
3. Inner/Outer Thigh Segment
4. Wall Push Up
5. Sitting Bicep Curl
6. Sitting Tricep Extensions
In the Beginner Workout below we will have six exercises. You will need light dumbbells, a yoga mat, and plenty of water! Our goal is to do 10-15 repetitions of each exercise and two circuits.
As we are preparing to launch a new fitness program for anyone, regardless of size or age, we would love your feedback regarding the workouts above…too difficult, too easy? Leave a comment below with your feedback. After all, the new fitness program will be for you!

Help,
thanks
Hi Deborah, It’s there https://skinnyms.com/shape-up-size-down-beginners-workout/
Thank you for doing all of this without charging! You find a website that looks amazing that you think will be able to help and of course, you have to pay them to access the information. This website will be my bible for the next few months while I get my body sorted! :o)
Question needing some feedback— how can I improve my balance??? It has gotten horrible. Will regular exercise help? I’m fine physically and only 38.
Laura, Hmmmm…Balance, I’ve discovered, is a problem for many people. I would recommend seeing a specialist.
For me, giving up dairy and eating mostly a plant based diet has helped my balance so much. Yoga, has also helped tremendously.
I just happened to find these exercises! Thanks!
This was awesome really felt it in the second circuit. Are you able to add some before and after streches that would be helpful
Trista, We have videos of each move. Please look below the workout.
I am from a small country in Africa called Swaziland, and through the power of technology I am able to work on my body with SkinnyMs. Thank you for all the work out ideas. I never have time to go to the gym so I am eternally grateful for the workout videos and tips. I am working on my body as we speak. Thank you
Thank you for letting us know our workouts are helpful. That’s what we’re here for. 🙂
in the introduction it is mentioned that you have an exercise routine for doing all exercises on the floor (lying down). For those of us with vertigo, that is a must! Can you give us the link for that routine?
thanks!
Hi Kelly,
The floor/sitting workout can be found on the Absolute Beginner’s Workout – Part 1 post. There are two workouts on this page, it is the first one titled “Absolute Beginner’s Workout”
I needed something small to get me moving. Thank you for providing this free resource!
That’s Great, Jackie! We’re happy we could help! Be sure to check out the rest of our FREE Home Workouts!
Thanks for the Absolute Beginners Workout. Just what I need to get started! I call it “getting in shape to get in shape”. I tweaked the order so there is less getting up and down.
I do have one question. I do Clam Shells as part of a core routine also. Does this work the same muscle group as the Donkey Kick? I’ve always been told that you should work the same muscle group on alternating days.
Elinor, Clam Shell is not the same as donkey kick.
I’m loving the ease back into with this workout, with Corona, i completely stopped any kind of activity, I needed to restart somewhere, and these are perfect and easy to follow. 1 question I have though, how long should I continue ? When I’m ready should I add a thirdcircuit? Or go to step 2 of beginners? Thank you
Hi Rhonda, When you’re ready, move onto Part 2. If you’d like to keep doing this routine for a few weeks, feel free to add another circuit. There are tons on the site to choose from.
