Notes:
- Progression: As you become stronger, increase the difficulty by adding more reps, sets, or by performing more challenging variations of each exercise.
- Rest: Take 1-2 minutes of rest between sets to ensure quality over quantity.
- Consistency: Aim to gradually increase the intensity of your workouts by making them longer or incorporating more challenging exercises as you progress.
- Recovery: Listen to your body. If you’re feeling overly fatigued or sore, allow more time for recovery.
This routine is designed to build foundational strength and can be adapted as you progress. Once you’re comfortable with these exercises and can perform them with ease, consider moving on to more advanced variations or incorporating equipment like resistance bands to increase the challenge.
