Tips for Beginners:

  • Rest: Allow at least one rest day between workouts to avoid overtraining.
  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after workouts.
  • Progress Gradually: Start with lower reps and sets, and as your strength and stamina increase, you can gradually add more reps or weights.
  • Form First: Focus on maintaining proper form to prevent injuries.
  • Consistency: Aim to work out at least 3-4 times a week and gradually increase the intensity.
