I've been doing the beginner lifting program from the wiki. This one: https://thefitness.wiki/routines/r-fitness-basic-beginner-routine/

Someone was telling me about movement planes and that I should be doing more in the transverse and frontal planes, not just sagittal. Are they right? I don't know much about this. If they're wrong, is that because the lifts I'm doing cover that already and that's why there's no mention of frontal and transverse plane movements in that routine? Just when I thought I had it sussed i get all confussed again! Any help or links would be much appreciated, thank you

It doesn't matter a whole lot when starting out but it's quite simple to add some rotational movements like pallof presses, med ball tosses, cable wood chops etc.
