How To Plan A Good Work Out Schedule
Ask any professional athlete or body builder or even a dedicated gym user what makes their goals achievable apart from hard work and dedication. Whatever it is, you will always find that they have stuck to an effective work out schedule that has suited them best. I can not stress more on how important it is to have a good schedule of your own.
Write Your Own
Writing up your own work out schedule is really straightforward if you know what you want out of it. There are a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration when planning out your schedule. For instance the days to train, how much time can you spare for training, which body parts you want to focus more on, which body parts you want to focus less on or avoid altogether, etc.
I have prepared an outline of what most people’s work out schedules look like just so you have a fair idea (if you are a beginner) of what you will need to know.
Example One
Day One – Chest and Triceps
Day Two – Rest
Day Three – Legs (Quads, Calves, Hams) and Shoulders (Including Traps)
Day Four – Rest
Day Five – Back and Biceps (Including Forearms)
Day Six – Cardio and Abs
Day Seven – Rest
Example Two
Day One – Chest
Day Two – Back
Day Three – Legs (Quads, Calves, Hams)
Day Four – Shoulders and Traps
Day Five – Arms (Biceps and Triceps) and Core
Day Six – Rest or Cardio
Day Seven – Rest
Turn It Into Your Own
Put in or remove workouts in your work out schedule depending on what you want to achieve out of it. Avoid working too much on your biceps if you think they are too big or replace more weight lifting days for cardio sessions if you want to cut down in weight/size. Just add the amount of reps, sets, and weights you think you can take in a normal workout.
Identify what you want out of all this and set your mind to achieving your goals. On the other hand, do not forget to write up a good diet plan for you. A healthy diet really does make a difference in your appearance.
