Building a Foundation in Fitness Training
When starting a fitness plan, it's important to focus on building a foundation. This involves engaging in basic, simple exercises rather than jumping into advanced movements too quickly. A recommended approach is to start with a basic program that includes familiar exercises such as planks, lunges, hamstring exercises, and shoulder movements. It's also advisable to seek guidance from a trained professional to ensure safe and effective training.
