No weights - just 30 minutes of yoga-inspired strength exercises for the whole body

Woman doing yoga for strength work, sitting on living room floor and stretching.

Of course, strength training for women is hugely important. Not only for reducing the risk of muscle and bone loss that naturally comes with age, but also for everyday movement. For many, this means doing a dumbbell workout at home or in the gym. But not everyone enjoys weighted workouts, and that's okay.

You can do yoga as a workout in a way that strengthens the muscles, putting them under an increasing amount of tension as you get stronger. At the same time, you'll be stretching them, helping to improve flexibility and mobility. With breathwork part of the package, you'll find your mind finds a moment of calm with these movements, too.
