Best Exercise Program For You
So what exercise program is best suited for you? It all depends on what your fitness goals are. You may be interested in losing weight, toning your body, building muscle and strength or into some serious bodybuilding. Therefore, your exercise program should be tailored and customized to meet your fitness goals.
Regardless of your fitness goals, your exercise workouts should always include both weight training and cardiovascular exercise.
Let’s begin with weight training. You can create a program based on a 3 to 4 day weekly workout schedule or on a every-second-day rotating workout schedule. Your workouts should incorporate both the big major muscle groups (chest, back, shoulders) along with the smaller muscle groups (triceps, biceps, forearms). Legs can be done on a separate day or incorporated into your daily workout schedule. Abdominals can be done two to three times per week. Of course, you can create variations on my following suggestions depending on what works best for you and the time available to you.
What I like to do is focus on a major body part in each of my workouts plus a minor body part. So one day, I will work on chest plus biceps and 1 set of legs. The next day, I will work on back, triceps and abdominals and 1 set of legs. The third day, I will work on shoulder plus supersets of biceps and triceps and 2 sets of legs. If this is too much for you, you can do your legs on a fourth day. Somewhere in there, you will want to do some cardiovascular exercise. Also, such a workout can be customized to be long or short in length.
When it comes to getting the most of your workouts, I suggest that you perform your exercises slowly, vary your exercises with each workout and pay attention to your form and technique. Remember, it’s not necessarily how many exercises you perform, it’s how you do them!
All this may sound confusing to you or you may really need some help to customize your own exercise program tailored to your fitness goals. Don’t hesitate to seek professional fitness help. A lot of people do this and many have received excellent results after seeking professional fitness help.
