Progression Guidance

Increase reps gradually before adding more sets. Once bodyweight squats and push-ups feel easy at the top of the rep range, consider adding resistance bands or dumbbells to keep progressing.

Safety Guidance

Warm up before every session, focus on controlled movement over speed, and stop if you feel joint pain rather than normal muscle fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions
