Training Tips for Maximizing Results

Set realistic goals: Avoid overwhelming yourself with ambitious training plans. Start small and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts.

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout your workout to avoid dehydration and maintain optimal performance.
