How To Start Your Own Personal Workout Program
Starting your own personal workout program isn’t as hard as you may think and with the tips I outline in this post I think you’ll see that it’s actually quite easy.
The most important thing to remember when developing your own personal workout program is to not spend too much time on it as it it is something that should always be changing. As you body adapts to the exercise routines you throw at it you’ll have to adjust and change your workout routines to fight off stagnation.
The first thing you’ll want to determine is how many days per week you can workout. I’d recommend somewhere between 3-5 days per week. Anything less is not enough and anything more is too much. When you start to design your workout program you’ll basically want to work out each major body part at least once per week.
To get all of your body parts in you’ll have to combine some of them and here’s how I would recommend you do it if you were going to begin a 4 day per week personal workout program.
Day One
Quads (thighs), hamstrings and calves
Day Two
Back, Rear Shoulders/delts and abs
Day Three
Chest and Triceps and calves
Day Four
Shoulders, Traps and abs
This is known as a push-pull split in the bodybuilding world and it is quite effective. I normally recommend you work out for no longer then 45 minutes to an hour because anything longer and your body just really starts to under perform. It’s always a good idea to begin each workout with a good warm up and I usually recommend a good 15 minute cardio warm up.
Well there you have it. Starting your first personal workout program doesn’t have to be difficult. Stay tuned for more tips on how you can fine tune your workout program for better results.
