Training program

Do this complex 3 times a week, arranging 1 day of rest between classes. Start with 5 minutes of light cardio exercises, such as walking or climbing stairs. Then follow 1 approach from 12-15 repetitions of each exercise. Between the approaches, do stretching exercises for all the major muscle groups, holding each stretch for 20-30 seconds. If the muscles do not get tired after the last repetition, increase the resistance by shortening the shock absorber or standing out from the door. When you feel ready, add a second, and then a third approach. In the fourth week, take a shock absorber with a lot of resistance.
