Workout Tips at Home
Warm-Up and Cool Down:
Always start with a 5-minute warm-up-jumping jacks or marching in place-and finish with a cool-down stretch for no injuries.
Consistency:
Aim to work out at least 3-4 times a week to see results.
Modify where needed:
If the intensity is too much, reduce it, along with your reps.
From the comfort of your own home, workouts cater to everything from goals to fitness levels.
Whether it's strength gain, endurance, or just that overall healthy boost, it's here.
So grab your mat, water bottle, and let's get this moving!
