This will be different for everyone as not everyone has the same goals.
Cardio can be used an an extra tool to further you into a deficit if that is your goal.
I highly suggest you increase your daily steps, because you can track it. If you’d like to add more cardio, start off by doing 20-30 minutes post workout cardio of your choice 2-3 times/week then increase time/days/intensity over time. You want to avoid doing too much too soon to avoid a plateau
Who are these workouts for (skill-level)? The workouts are designed for all levels
Beginners: go slow, use less weight, use longer rest periods, and focus on form
Advanced: increase weight, reps and reduce rest time as you progress
Weight training 3-4 times per week
2 days of active rest: When you rest from lifting, you should still remain active. Do HIIT cardio/ab workouts, play sports, go for a hike or a long walk
1 full rest day
What do I need to participate? You need dumbbells. Preferably different weights. Your Lower body workouts should be heavier than your upper body.
You also need a set of long bands and short (loop bands)
