Cool Down (2 minutes)

• Standing quad stretch: 30 seconds each leg
• Hamstring stretch: 30 seconds
• Shoulder stretch: 30 seconds

✅ Focus on form: Quality over quantity always wins

✅ Modify as needed: Can't do a full burpee? Step back instead of jumping

✅ Stay hydrated: Keep water nearby

✅ Listen to your body: Rest when you need to

✅ Consistency is key: Aim for 3-4 sessions per week

• Week 1-2: Focus on learning proper form
• Week 3-4: Increase intensity, reduce rest time
• Week 5+: Add a third round or extend work intervals to 45 seconds

❌ Skipping warm-up: This increases injury risk

❌ Holding your breath: Breathe continuously throughout

❌ Poor form: Don't sacrifice form for speed

❌ Training every day: Your body needs rest to recover

With consistent practice (3-4 times per week), you'll notice:

• Improved cardiovascular endurance (2-3 weeks)
• Increased strength and muscle tone (4-6 weeks)
• Better balance and coordination (2-4 weeks)
• Enhanced metabolism and fat burning (4-8 weeks)

Once this becomes easy:

1. Add resistance with water bottles or backpack

2. Increase work intervals to 45 seconds

3. Reduce rest periods to 15 seconds

4. Add a third round

Remember: The best workout is the one you'll actually do. Start today, stay consistent, and watch your fitness transform!
