Full-body foundations

Three sessions a week built on the movement patterns everything else depends on.

A simple full-body session to repeat three times a week, with a rest day between sessions. Learn each movement with a load you control easily, then add a little weight or a rep when every set feels solid.

Warm-up

Five minutes of easy cardio, then one or two light sets of the first two exercises.
