 COMBO PROGRAMMES: Beginner - 3 days a week
For the resistance exercises: start with a lighter weight - one with which you can do 12-14 smooth, controlled repetitions without stopping. If you find the 12th and 14th repetition quite hard to do, you're doing the exercise correctly.

The next set's weight should be slightly heavier, and the last set should be done with an even heavier weight.

Remember to stretch your muscles after every session.
