Q & A

What should I do if I struggle with consistency in my workout routine?

If you're struggling with consistency, the routine in the script recommends working out three times a week. Start with alternating between A and B day workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Consistency is key, and you can increase the number of workout days if requested.

How do I progress when I can do 15 reps of an exercise?

Once you can perform 15 reps of an exercise, you should either increase the weight by adding more to your backpack or switch to a harder variation of the exercise to make it more challenging.

What equipment do I need for this home workout routine?

For this routine, you'll need minimal equipment. A backpack, a table, chairs, heavy books, and optionally, dip bars for certain exercises. If you don't have dip bars, you can improvise with other equipment or variations.

How do I structure the workout days and alternate between A and B days?

You will alternate between A and B day workouts. Start with A day on your first workout. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, you'll alternate between A and B day, ensuring you don't repeat the same type of workout two days in a row.

What should I do if I can't perform certain exercises like push-ups or pull-ups?

If you can't do regular push-ups yet, start with knee push-ups or wall push-ups. For pull-ups, begin with slow, controlled negatives until you can perform a few clean reps. Gradually build strength by progressing through easier variations first.

Is it okay to work out more than three times a week?

While three times a week is recommended for beginners to build consistency, you can add cardio on rest days or increase workout days if you feel ready. However, it’s important to ensure you're allowing your muscles to recover before adding more intensity.

How should I train for failure in this routine?

Training to failure means doing reps until you can't complete any more. This is an effective way to challenge your muscles and stimulate growth. For most exercises, aim to go to failure unless otherwise specified in the script.

What should I do if I feel sore after my first few workouts?

Feeling sore is normal for beginners. After the first few workouts, soreness will decrease. Focus on getting enough sleep, maintaining a good diet, and staying active to recover faster.

How long should I rest between sets?

Rest for about two to three minutes between sets, or as long as needed to feel 80-100% ready for the next set. Rest is important to allow your muscles to recover before pushing them again.

How can I improve my diet to support my workout goals?

To improve your diet, focus on a balanced approach that supports fat loss and muscle building. The script references a video on nutrition, which provides more specific guidance on how to optimize your diet for better results.
