What are some effective workout routines for beginners?

For beginners, I recommend starting with a mix of cardio and strength training. How about a simple routine like this: 3 days of strength training focusing on major muscle groups, and 2 days of cardio like brisk walking or cycling?

Can you suggest a specific strength training routine?

Sure! A basic strength training routine could include: 1) Push-ups (3 sets of 10), 2) Squats (3 sets of 10), 3) Dumbbell rows (3 sets of 10 per arm), and 4) Planks (3 sets of 30 seconds). You can do this 3 times a week.

How long should each workout session last?

Each workout session should last about 30 to 45 minutes, including warm-up and cool-down. This is enough time to get a good workout without overdoing it.

What should I do on rest days?

On rest days, focus on recovery. You can do light activities like walking, stretching, or yoga to keep your body active without straining it.
