Public health guidance converges on a simple structure: regular aerobic activity across the week, resistance training on at least two days, and reduced prolonged sitting. The detail matters far less than the consistency.
Progress is best judged over months, not sessions. Load should rise gradually, and periods of reduced training are part of the design rather than a failure of it.
Anyone with cardiovascular symptoms, significant joint pain, pregnancy considerations or a chronic condition should get individual clearance and guidance from a healthcare professional before making substantial changes.
