Beginners Workout Plan

Workout Plan
This is a very basic workout routine. I'm not saying that this will work for everyone because everyone is different. Everyone has a their own starting point and goal in mind. This will more than anything just get you started and give you ideas for workouts. The most important thing to do will be listening to your own body. Take progress pics and find what works best for you. The reps and amount of sets can change depending on what your goals are.
