- Cool-down: 5–10 min easy movement + static stretching.
FAQ
How many minutes should a beginner train?
Beginners can start with 20–40 minutes per session 3×/week and gradually increase duration or frequency.
Can I split workouts into shorter sessions?

How do I progress session length?
Increase total weekly duration by ~10% per week or add one extra short session per week until desired workload is reached.
