141. Don’t Know Where to Start With a Strength Training Workout Routine? Build Your Own Workout Plan in 5 Easy Steps

Do you keep saying, “I need to start working out,” but feel completely overwhelmed every time you try? You’re not lazy. You’re likely just stuck in analysis paralysis—trying to figure out what workouts to do, how many reps, whether you need to join a gym, and wondering if you’re even doing it right.

If you’ve been Googling phrases like “workout routine for beginners,” “how to get toned,” or “simple health rhythms” but nothing sticks, this episode will give you the actual steps to start building strength—without the perfectionism, pressure, or Pinterest rabbit holes.

Shaela walks you through how to:

  • Choose the right number of training days for your real life (not your fantasy calendar)

  • Match your workout split with your schedule using practical templates (2, 3, 4, or 5 days a week)

  • Plug in movement patterns like squats, hinges, push/pull exercises, and core work

  • Use equipment you already have—or none at all!

  • Pick realistic reps and sets without overthinking

Whether you’re brand new or just getting back into a rhythm, this is a grace-filled, faith-rooted approach to building a sustainable strength training plan that works for busy Christian women.

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • You don’t need a gym or 5 days a week to see results. 2–3 workouts can absolutely build strength.

  • Strength training is simpler than it sounds. Use patterns like push, pull, squat, hinge, and core to create balanced workouts.

  • Focus on consistency, not chaos. “Stronger comes from consistency, not chaos.”

  • Fuel your body with high-protein meals and rest as needed.

  • The best workout is the one that fits your real life—and your calling.
