Focus on quality over quantity. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head (lightly—don't pull on your neck). Engage your core and lift your shoulder blades off the ground, exhaling as you come up. The key is to move slowly and control the descent. If traditional sit-ups hurt your lower back, try dead bugs or planks instead—they're often more effective for core strength anyway.on text goes here

For most people, 3-4 strength training sessions per week is the sweet spot. This gives you enough frequency to make progress while allowing proper recovery between sessions. If you're new to training, start with 2-3 days and build from there. Remember: consistency beats intensity every time. It's better to do 3 solid workouts every week for a year than to go hard 6 days a week and burn out in a month.xt goes here

Lift weights first if strength or muscle building is your primary goal. Doing cardio first fatigues your muscles, which can compromise your form and the weight you can lift. Save cardio for after your strength work, or do it on separate days entirely. That said, a 5-10 minute cardio warm-up before lifting is fine and actually beneficial—just don't go so hard that you're gassed before you even touch a weight.
