Beginner

[Oala]

Hello, i barely understand anything and i picked beginner option. i am not sure which option to begin with. i wanna start working out to get my body to be less tired during days. i mean i got lots of studies so. i have no idea where to start from. how many sets i am supposed to do.. how this site's timer thingy works rly.. i mean maybe gaining a bit of muscle would be nice overall. any recommendations on what program i should start from or should i do 2 programs together? it would be nice to have some guidance

If you don't know where to start, I recommend starting with a 30-day program, it's already a well-structured and progressive workout, you don't have to think about anything, just follow the program, it's the simplest approach

I wasn't sure how to start either, to be honest. I just started at level 1 because I knew I wasn't in the best shape. I feel like it's best to kinda think about your physical health and try to rank it on a 1-5 scale if you can. But, alternatively I'd probably just start at level 3 and adjust it as needed. If it's way too hard, drop it down a level or if it's too easy, bump it up some. Throughout the journey you'll want to be aware and make adjustments anyways, so it's not bad to start out with that mindset. But keep in mind that you're in the data collecting phase at first and to be gentle with yourself.

I largely started out with one program, the Zero to Hero one because it sounded fun. And the story line kept me interested and keep me keep up with it until I was more disciplined. (it's a 30 day challenge.) Now that I finished that, I started on a workout for my core/back and one for my arms because those are two areas I specifically knew I wanted to work on. Though I'm doing a lighter one for the arms to make sure I'm not overloading myself by mistake.

In short, I'd jump in the middle if no idea what whatever your initial thought is for a 1-5 rank. You may filter for a strength based one since you are already thinking increasing your muscle is a good move. And just be sure to be mindful as you work out to learn your capabilities and limits. Make sure to stop if it hurts (more than just discomfort, I mean) so you don't hurt yourself and if it's too easy, don't be scared to add on a little more.

Sorry I'm so wordy! And as a caveat, I still feel like I'm kinda figuring this out too. Just remember you're not alone and there's lots of people here who can give advice and help.
