Aim for 45-60 minutes, including a warm-up and cool-down. Focus on quality over quantity to ensure effective and safe workouts.

No, you don’t need to do cardio daily. Incorporate 2-3 sessions of cardio per week alongside strength training for overall fitness. Walking or light activity on rest days is also beneficial.

Before a workout, have a small meal with protein and carbs (e.g., any meat or fish for protein, rice or pasta for carbs, peanut butter or eggs for fats). After your workout, focus on protein and carbs to aid recovery (e.g., chicken and rice, or a protein shake with a fruit).

Muscle soreness is normal, especially when starting out. Stay active with light activities like walking or stretching, and ensure you’re hydrating, hit your protein intake and getting enough rest.

Supplements can help, but they’re not necessary for beginners. Focus on a balanced diet with whole foods. If needed, protein powder or a multivitamin can complement your diet.

Track your progress by keeping a workout journal or using a fitness app to record your exercises, sets, reps, and weights. You can also take progress photos and measure key areas (like waist, hips, and arms) every few weeks to see changes over time.
