You can adjust the intensity and duration of this workout to fit your fitness level. If you are a beginner, start with a shorter workout and fewer repetitions. As you get stronger, you can increase the intensity and duration of your workouts.
It is important to warm up before starting any workout to prevent injuries. The warm-up should get your heart rate up and your muscles ready for activity. The cool-down helps your body recover from the workout and prevents muscle soreness.
Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout. And listen to your body. If you are feeling pain, stop the workout and rest.
