Elevate Your Fitness Routine: A Comprehensive Guide to My Weekly Weight Training Workout

Here is a short guide to help you establish a routine for your fitness journey. I recommend starting all these exercises with light weights for the higher rep counts. For example, if the starting rep is 15 or 25, use light weights, then progress by 1kg or 5kg for the next set since you're doing fewer reps. Continue this progression each time the rep count decreases.
