For example, walk for a few minutes, and then try jogging for 30 to 60 seconds. Then walk another 1 to 2 minutes before another 30 to second jog. Aim for a total of 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your current fitness level. Regardless of the exercise modality you choose, beginner cardio workouts should be capped at 20 minutes or so initially. Gradually increase the duration of the workout along with intensity as appropriate. There are many ways to build muscular strength and endurance.
You can use resistance training machines, dumbbells , barbells, and weight plates, resistance bands, kettlebells , medicine balls, sandbags, or even your own body weight. Beginner strength training workouts that use lower weights and a higher number of reps will increase your muscular endurance — their ability to persist during exercise without fatiguing — while workouts that use heavier weights and fewer reps increase the strength and size of your muscles.
For each exercise, use a weight you lift with proper form for the full range of motion for the number of reps given. The weight should feel challenging, especially for the last 4 to 5 reps of each set. Chest, for example, includes two exercises: One is a compound movement dumbbell bench press that involves multiple joints both the shoulder and elbow to work the largest amount of muscle possible, and the other is an isolation exercise dumbbell flye that involves only one joint shoulder and targets the pecs to a greater extent.
Fifteen reps may be just outside the ideal muscle-building range, but these sets will help you increase muscular endurance to provide a solid foundation on which to build size and strength going forward. One new exercise is added to each bodypart routine to provide even more angles from which to train your target muscles to promote complete development. The result is 16 total sets for the week for large bodyparts and 12 sets total for smaller ones—again, working in the 8—rep range—which is a substantial increase in volume from Week 1.
Four-day splits are common among experienced lifters because they involve training fewer bodyparts typically 2—3 per workout, which gives each muscle group ample attention and allows you to train with higher volume. No new exercises are introduced in Week 4 so that you can focus on intensity in your workouts instead of learning new movements. Rep schemes remain in the hypertrophy range this week, but overall volume increases by adding more sets to individual exercises: up to five sets per move for larger bodyparts, and even 10 sets of calf raises on Thursday.

If you feel extra sore or tired, take a rest day. If you feel you're not being challenged, increase the intensity, duration or frequency to work harder. You can use any cardio machine or activity for this workout. Cardio machines include the treadmill, elliptical trainer, stationary cycle, rowing machine, ski machine, and stairstepper.
Cardio activities include brisk walking, running, cycling, and swimming. Complete each segment of the workout, setting speed, incline, resistance, or ramps to match the suggested perceived exertion levels.
This is very subjective and it may take you a few workouts to match how you're feeling with how hard you're working. Your baseline level should feel harder than your warm up, taking you just out of your comfort zone. Keep in mind that your settings may change as you get deeper into the workout and start to get tired. The idea is to find your baseline wherever it may be, even if you have to reduce your speed, incline, resistance, etc.
Modify the workout as needed to fit your fitness level.
