**Mistake #1 (8–20s)**

**[B-roll: Amazon cart filling up with random fitness gadgets — ab roller, vibration plate, shake weight]**

**[On-screen text: "❌ #1: Buying everything at once"]**

"Mistake one — buying every shiny gadget on Amazon. You don't need it. Start with adjustable dumbbells and a bench. That's 90% of your workouts, handled."

**Mistake #2 (20–34s)**

**[B-roll: Person staring at equipment, looking confused, scrolling phone]**

**[On-screen text: "❌ #2: No plan = no progress"]**

"Mistake two — no workout plan. Gear doesn't build muscle, *consistency* does. Pick a free beginner program online and follow it for 8 weeks. Just start."

**Mistake #3 (34–50s)**

**[B-roll: Tiny cramped corner with weights crammed in — then cut to a tidy, organized 6x6 ft space]**

**[On-screen text: "❌ #3: Ignoring your space"]**

"Mistake three — ignoring your space. You don't need a whole room. A 6x6 foot corner is enough. Set it up clean, leave equipment visible, and you'll actually use it."

[B-roll: Quick cuts of cluttered workout gear, someone looking confused in a garage gym, overpriced equipment tags]  

“Starting a home gym? Stop. Don’t buy anything until you avoid these 3 beginner mistakes.”

**Intro**  
[On-screen text: “Save money. Save space. Train smarter.”]  
[B-roll: Creator pointing at camera, then showing a simple clean workout corner]  

“A lot of people waste money, space, and motivation when they first set up at home. The good news? These mistakes are easy to fix.”

**Main Content**  
[On-screen text: “Mistake #1: Buying too much too fast”]  
[B-roll: Piles of random dumbbells, gadgets, resistance bands still in packaging]  

“Mistake number one: buying too much, too fast.  
You do not need a full gym on day one.  
Start with the basics.  
A pair of adjustable dumbbells, resistance bands, and a bench or mat can go a long way.”

[On-screen text: “Mistake #2: Ignoring your space”]  
[B-roll: Someone trying to work out in a cramped area, bumping into furniture]  

“Mistake number two: ignoring your space.  
That giant machine might look cool online… but if it barely fits, you won’t use it.  
Measure your area first.  
Make sure you have room to move, store equipment, and actually enjoy training.”

[On-screen text: “Mistake #3: No workout plan”]  
[B-roll: Person scrolling workouts aimlessly, then switching to a simple written routine]  

“And mistake number three: no plan.  
The equipment is not the workout.  
If you don’t know what you’re doing, even the best setup collects dust.  
Pick a simple routine you can stick to 3 to 4 times a week.”
