workout

#This program was designed to build my general strength, enhance body look, develop cardiovascular health and increase mental resilience. The structure prioritizes efficiency and sustainability: short sessions, minimal equipment, fully home-based so I can work out regardless of season or schedule.

#The core ideas I follow are consistency over intensity and progressive overload. It's okay if I have trouble performing the exercises with perfect technique or reach muscle failure before completing the set. The main goals are to simply start the workout and push myself to do the best I can.

Routine

#The pattern: 3 different workouts (A, B, C), each repeated twice per week. Each session ~30-40 minutes total. minimal rest between exercises, 60-90 sec rest between rounds.
