What gym exercise should I start with?
Workout 1: Cardio
To begin, choose a cardio machine (like the treadmill or the elliptical) and aim to stick with it for 20 to 25 minutes or whatever seems achievable for you. Start off slow and gradually adjust the incline, resistance, or speed if you think you can handle more.
What is an ideal gym routine?
Total body strength workout (30 – 60 minutes). Focus on muscle groups like quads, chest, upper back, glutes, and hamstring. Try doing think planks, plank variations, bench press, hip thrust, and squats. Cardio – cycling, running, or brisk walking for as long as you’re comfortable.
