                      How to Plan Your Weekly Workouts?

                      Pick 3–5 routines per week, mixing strength + cardio + rest

                      For example:

                      Monday: Bodyweight Circuit

                      Wednesday: HIIT

                      Friday: Lower Body Focus

                      Sunday: Yoga / Recovery

                      Adjust sets and rest based on how you feel

                      Track your progress (reps, time, fatigue)

                      Nutrition & Recovery Tips:

                      Drink enough water — hydration supports performance

                      Eat protein + vegetables + healthy fats

                      Sleep is essential — muscles grow while you rest

                      Listen to your body; rest or scale down if you feel overly sore

                      Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

                      Q: Can I really get fit at home without equipment?
                      Yes. Many people build strength, lose fat, and improve health using bodyweight or minimal tools.

                      Q: How long until I see results?
                      If you’re consistent (3–5x per week), you may feel changes within 4–6 weeks (more energy, better stamina). Body changes often take a bit longer.

                      Q: Do I need supplemental exercises (weights, gym)?
                      Eventually, adding resistance (like dumbbells or bands) can help you keep progressing. But as a beginner, this list is enough to start.
