Editorial notes

What beginners need first

A manageable load, basic movement patterns, and clear cueing.

How to pick sessions

Start with full-body formats, keep rest honest, and repeat the same instructor long enough to learn.

Common mistake

Do not jump to advanced volume before you own the basics.
