Starting into a workout routine can be very intimidating. There are so many things to consider, and you want to be sure that your time spent exercising is maximally beneficial. Here's a list of 10 beginner friendly workouts, plus a quick rundown on how to get yourself off on the right foot. 

1 Low Impact Beginner Cardio Workout - Feel Good Recovery Cardio - The moves in this 26 minute workout are all low impact and easily modified to be easier or more difficult. It uses exercises that build range of motion, cardio endurance, coordination, control of your own body and flexibility. It's also a great starting point for burning fat and building cardiovascular endurance. 

2 Low Impact Cardio and Abs Workout As you can tell by the many low impact routines on this list, they are a great place to start when you're new to exercising, and they give your body a chance to adapt and get ready for more intense training. This is a core and cardio combo that helps you build a strong base while working up a sweat (with no jumping at all).

3 27 Minute Butt, Thigh, and Abs Pilates Workout Pilates workouts like this one are a great way for beginners to improve core strength and to start to build a mind body connection, which are both imperative to being able to safely push yourself during harder workouts.

5 No Equipment Upper Body Workout with Warm Up and Cool Down - Using only bodyweight, this antagonistic routine is a great way to learn how to engage your muscles and perfect form before you start to add more weight.
