You will want to ensure that you are using the proper form for each movement. Since you are new to exercise, it is best to perfect the form and progress at your own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The body will take a little bit to get used to these new strength movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technically speaking, a 20-minute routine can be scaled for someone who is just a beginner and even those on an advanced fitness journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-planned 20-minute workout with exercises like squats, lunges, and leg presses can give your leg muscles a good challenge. But if you want to build a lot of muscle or get stronger, you may need to work out for a bit longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, consistency is going to lead to results.
