Notes:
Intensity: Adjust the intensity based on individual fitness levels. Encourage scaling options for movements to accommodate all participants.
Rest: Ensure at least one full rest day per week.
Programming Variety: Continuously vary the workouts to prevent plateaus and boredom.
Progress Tracking: Encourage participants to track their progress, such as weights lifted, workout times, and improvements in skills.
Always prioritize proper form and safety. Consult with a fitness professional or coach to tailor the program to individual needs and goals.
