Safety notes

Before starting any new exercise program, it's always wise to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions. Always warm up for 5-10 minutes before each workout with light cardio (like marching in place, arm circles, leg swings) and dynamic stretches. Cool down for 5 minutes after with static stretches. Listen to your body: if you feel sharp pain, stop immediately. Discomfort is normal, but pain is a warning sign. Take extra rest days if needed. For exercises that are too challenging, use modifications (e.g., knee push-ups instead of full push-ups, bodyweight squats instead of jump squats). To progress, you can gradually increase repetitions, sets, duration of holds, or the resistance of your bands/weight of your dumbbells as you get stronger. Consistency is key, not perfection. Stay hydrated throughout your workouts.
