As a beginner the goal is to show up to training consistently. It is likely you are still developing a strong 'exercise' habit. Fitting it into your week is easy when there is 3 workouts. Move the sessions to suit your schedule. With adequate rest you always look forward to your next workout.

This is predominately a strength program with a tiny bit of cardio intertwined just to keep your mind & heart healthy.

FAQs
What should I do on non training days?
Go for walks, stretch, I have plenty of mini ab workouts inside my community also. Just shoot me a message if that interests you.
How do I choose which weight to lift?
As a beginner focus on technique and form. The last 2 reps should be challenging. Your first 2 reps shouldn't look exactly the same as your last two. It needs to be challening but achievable. If you grab a wrong weight (too light or too heavy) just put it back grab another one & start again.
