General Workout Guidelines:
-Workout lasts 45-60 minutes in duration
-Cardio done after workout (don't do cardio after a Leg Day) or on non-lifting days
-High repetitions (15+ reps per set) except for chest, tricep, and shoulder exercises: these should be heavier and lower reps to build up strength and mass for bench press test.
-Hydrate before, during, and after workout
-Breathe during all repetitions!!!
-Workouts don’t have to be done exactly as written, especially if you feel joint pain or a weight seems too light or heavy. Use common sense!
-Workouts are not done in the exact order written (except warmup and cooldowns)
-Ask Frugal Fitness if you have any questions or need help!
