Additional Tips
- Variability: Rotate exercises every few weeks to target muscles differently and prevent plateaus.
- Intensity Adjustments: Gradually increase weights or add more reps as you grow stronger.
- Recovery: Ensure adequate sleep and consider incorporating techniques like stretching or foam rolling on rest days.
- Nutrition: Fuel workouts with a balanced diet rich in proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats to support recovery and energy levels.
Remember, consistency and progressive overload are key to seeing continuous improvements. Adjust the workout based on your progress and any physical feedback from your body.
