Beginner Strength Training Workout:

1. **Squats** - 3 sets of 10-12 reps

   - Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding weights by your sides or a barbell on your shoulders.

   - Push through your heels to return to the starting position.

2. **Push-Ups** - 3 sets of 8-10 reps

   - Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor.

   - Push back up to the starting position.

3. **Dumbbell Rows** - 3 sets of 10-12 reps per arm

   - Bend forward at the waist with a dumbbell in one hand, other hand on a bench for support.

   - Pull the dumbbell up towards your hip, keeping your elbow close to your body.

   - Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position and repeat.

4. **Standing Shoulder Press** - 3 sets of 10-12 reps

   - Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding dumbbells at shoulder height.

   - Press the weights overhead until your arms are fully extended.

   - Lower the weights back to shoulder height.

5. **Plank** - 3 sets of 30-60 seconds

   - Lie face down, then lift your body up onto your toes and forearms.

   - Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.

   - Hold the position, keeping your core engaged.

6. **Deadlifts** - 3 sets of 10-12 reps

   - Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell or dumbbells in front of your thighs.

   - Bend at the hips and knees, lowering the weights to the ground while keeping your back straight.

   - Return to the starting position by driving through your heels.

Remember to warm up before starting your workout and cool down afterwards. It's also important to listen to your body and rest if you feel any pain or discomfort. As you progress, you can gradually increase the weight and complexity of the exercises.
