Welcome to your Antara Strength Workout Guide
These workouts are designed to build your fitness foundation by improving your mobility, flexibility, and functional strength
If you haven't already, Antara recommends downloading the Nike Training Club App
Nike is a huge company, and whatever else they are about, they have built an amazing fitness app full of great free workouts and fitness resources
YOUR 3 MONTHS STRENGTH GOAL: Work out 3x per week for 10-15 minutes
Below are links to Nike Training Club App workouts that you can mix and match to reach your strength goal. Try doing more than one a day. (These workouts are a great way to start the morning or take a quick fitness break from whatever you're doing during the day.)
These workouts do NOT require any equipment
Please remember to share your activity log with your Health Navigator on a regular basis
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: If a particular exercise doesn't feel safe or causes sharp pain, stop doing it! Do not push yourself into pain. Workouts should feel good and be fun (although a little muscle soreness the next day is perfectly normal).
If you can't or don't feel comfortable doing a particular exercise in a workout, do something safe instead, or else rest until the next exercise comes up

FAQ:
All this fitness language - "core," "functional strength," "Active Recovery" - is unfamiliar to me. How can I make sense of this?
It's easy: check out Antara's Fitness Glossary: an introduction to the world of fitness
What should I do if I feel sharp pain or am otherwise injured?
Some soreness is very normal. It's sign your body is getting in shape. But if you feel sharp pain or serious discomfort, then contact your Health Navigator, who will help you assess the situation and determine what treatment may be needed.
