Key Tips for Success

Consistency beats perfection. Even a short workout is better than skipping the day.
Listen to your body. If you feel unusually sore or fatigued, replace a hard session with a lighter mobility or recovery day.
Stay hydrated. Aim for at least 2L of water per day, more on cardioheavy days.
Nutrition matters. Pair your training with balanced mealsprotein for repair, carbs for energy, and healthy fats for overall health.
Track progress. Use a notebook or app to log weights, reps, and how you feel after each session.

Optional Adjustments

If you have specific goalssuch as weight loss, muscle gain, or preparing for a raceconsider the following tweaks:

Weight loss: Increase cardio duration slightly, keep rest periods short, and maintain a modest calorie deficit.
Muscle gain: Add an extra set to major lifts, focus on progressive overload, and ensure protein intake of ~1.62.2g/kg body weight.
Race preparation: Replace one cardio session with a longer, slower distance run or bike ride (6090minutes) each week.
