ADVICE

Start Small and Progress

Start with small, achievable fitness goals like a few push-ups or bodyweight exercises.
Gradually increase reps or sets as you get stronger, even using simple home workouts.

ADVICE

Progressive Push-ups

Begin with manageable push-up variations like wall push-ups or knee push-ups.
Set small goals, increasing reps as you gain strength, like aiming for 20, then 40, then 70 push-ups.
