A good beginner workout routine should include a mix of strength training and cardio, tailored to individual fitness levels. Strength training should focus on major muscle groups with a variety of exercises, typically at a moderate intensity of 8-15 reps per set [3][7]. Incorporating cardio activities that are enjoyable, combined with stretching for flexibility, is also important for overall fitness [4][5]. Consistency and gradual progression in intensity and volume help build strength and endurance while avoiding injury [1][2][6][7].
