Beginner At-Home Full Body Program
Schedule: 3x per week (full body) + 1 recovery day + optional extra cardio.
Equipment: Dumbbells and Kettlebells.

Weekly Structure
•	Workout Days (3x/week):
o	Day 1: Strength & Fatigue Focus
o	Day 2: Cardio + Muscle Fatigue (Elevated HR)
o	Day 3: Strength & Fatigue Focus
•	Recovery Day (1x/week): Low-stress activity (walk, hike, light cycling, etc.).
•	Cardio: Perform your preferred cardio on non-lifting days. Ideally, alternate lifting and cardio/recovery days throughout the week.

Workout Guidelines
•	Warm-Up: Perform your preferred dynamic warm-up or light cardio (5–10 min).
•	Sets: Train at RPE 8 (2 reps shy of failure). Occasionally, push to absolute failure (RPE 10).
•	Progressive Overload: Increase reps or weight weekly to maintain RPE 8. Volume progression is built into the plan.
•	Circuits/Supersets: Perform exercises back-to-back with minimal rest (just enough to swap weights if needed).
o	Rest 90–120 sec after each superset/circuit before repeating.
o	After finishing all sets in a superset, transition to the next within 2 min.

Workout Focus
•	Day 1 & Day 3 (Hypertrophy Focused):
Prioritize controlled reps, higher effort, and progressive overload to challenge major muscle groups.
•	Day 2 (Cardio Focused):
Maintain an elevated heart rate while incorporating strength moves with shorter rests and lighter/moderate weights.

Definitions
•	RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion):
o	RPE 8: Stop 2 reps before true failure.
o	RPE 10 (Failure): Absolute muscular failure — unable to complete another rep.
•	Progressive Overload:
o	Each week aim to increase reps or weight while keeping sets at RPE 8.
o	Over time, this ensures consistent strength and endurance gains.
