Keep steps lower on leg days
Higher steps on recovery and rest days
Walking should never cause fatigue that affects workouts



PROGRESSION (FOR LIFE)


Every 6–8 weeks, change ONE of the following:

Increase reps
Increase band resistance
Slow down tempo
Reduce rest time

Do NOT constantly change exercises.




KEY PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER

Train each muscle group 2 times per week
Allow 48 hours recovery for same muscle
Bands = lower joint stress, faster recovery
Walking improves fat loss and heart health
Consistency beats intensity
