Tips:
- Start with a warm-up to get your blood flowing and prevent injuries.
- Do each exercise for the recommended number of repetitions or sets.
- Take a break between sets to catch your breath.
- Cool down after your workout to help your body recover.
- Listen to your body and stop if you feel pain.
Modifications:
- If you are a beginner, you can modify the exercises to make them easier. For example, you can do push-ups from your knees instead of your toes, or you can do half squats instead of full squats.
- If you are an advanced exerciser, you can add more weight or resistance to the exercises. For example, you can hold a dumbbell while doing push-ups, or you can wear a weighted vest while doing squats.
Frequency:
- You can do this workout 3-4 times per week.
- If you are new to exercise, start with 2-3 times per week and gradually increase the frequency as you get fitter.
Consistency is key:
- The most important thing is to be consistent with your workouts. Even if you can only fit in a short workout, it is better than nothing.
- Find a time that works for you and stick to it.
- Make it a habit to exercise in the morning. This will help you start your day off on the right foot.
