Tips

Listen to your body: It's okay to slow down or take brief rests if you feel overwhelmed. The goal is consistent movement, not speed.

Maintain good posture: Keep your back straight and core engaged during all exercises, especially on the cardio machines.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout to stay energized and aid recovery.
