Overview
This session is for women who are ready to move beyond all-bodyweight training but do not want confusing gym programming.
The structure stays simple, the rest is generous, and every movement earns its place so you can focus on form and momentum.
Session Pacing
Choose a pair of dumbbells that makes the final two reps feel challenging without forcing sloppy form.
Rest 60 to 75 seconds between sets and treat the first round as practice before you decide to increase load.
Strength Foundation

3 sets of 10 reps each side

Pause lightly at the floor before each press.
Romanian Deadlift

Coach's tip
Load Guide
If your grip gives out before the target muscles do, go lighter and rebuild clean reps first.
