Before Every Workout

  • 5–10 minutes of treadmill walking, cycling, or brisk walking
  • Light stretching and warm-up sets

After Every Workout

  • 5 minutes of cool-down
  • Light stretching

Important Tips

  • Choose a weight that makes the last 2–3 reps challenging while maintaining good form.
  • Rest for 60–90 seconds between sets.
  • Try to increase the weight or reps slightly each week (progressive overload).
  • Get 7–9 hours of sleep daily.
  • Consume enough protein (approximately 1.6–2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight).

Based on Your Goal

Fat Loss

  • Add 15–20 minutes of cardio after your workout.
  • Maintain a moderate calorie deficit.

  • Focus on gradual strength progression.

Strength Gain

    • Squats
