Safe and sustainable entry into training

This plan is designed specifically for beginners. Exercises are simple, scalable and joint-friendly, allowing your body to adapt gradually to regular training without overload.

2

Focus on fundamental movement patterns

Instead of complex exercises, the plan emphasizes basic movements like squatting, pushing, pulling and core stability. These movements build a solid foundation for all future training.

3

Optimal training frequency for beginners

With 2–3 workouts per week, your body receives enough stimulus to improve while still having sufficient time to recover. This frequency is considered ideal for beginners by sports science research.
