Malaysia-Specific Considerations

For outdoor cardio in Malaysia's climate, schedule sessions during early morning (6-8 AM) or evening (6-8 PM) to avoid peak heat. Indoor options include air-conditioned gyms, shopping malls with walking tracks, or home-based cardio workouts.

Important Notes

Before starting any workout program, consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions. Always listen to your body and adjust exercises as needed. Proper form is more important than lifting heavy weights or completing all repetitions.

For Malaysia's climate, ensure adequate hydration before, during, and after workouts. Consider electrolyte replacement for intense sessions lasting longer than 60 minutes.
