Note:
- It is important to allow time for rest and recovery between workout sessions.
- Progressive overload is important, meaning gradually increasing reps or sets over time to continue challenging your muscles and promoting growth.
- Warm-up, stretching, and cool-down are also important to help reduce muscle soreness and prevent injury.
It is important to remember that this is a sample plan, and it is always recommended to consult with a doctor or a fitness professional before starting a new workout program. It's also important to note that bodyweight exercises are great for building strength but if you want to progress and see more muscle development you may want to consider using resistance bands or weights.
