Workout Routines Schedules

 

Guidelines For Planning Your Fitness Routines

Although there are no hard and fast rules about setting workout routines schedules, a carefully planned schedule will allow you to get more out of your workout routine in the long run. For one, a schedule gives your muscles a rhythm for healing and building, allowing you to be in the best condition for the next workout.

Also, sticking to a schedule helps make exercise a natural feature of your lifestyle rather than just a random or ‘seasonal’ activity. It helps to remember that a workout routine does not necessarily involve a gym. You can go for outdoor activities that you enjoy or choose from the many excellent ways to workout at home, even without fancy equipment.

Workout routines schedules usually fall into two categories: daily workout schedules and 3day workout routines. Based on these two, there are three general workout routines schedules you can follow or modify depending on your goals.

Schedule 1: Work out 3 days a week, preferably with a rest day in between each session. This could mean Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with the weekends off as well.

Schedule 2: If you have been exercising regularly for some time, you may do a daily routine focusing on one muscle group per day, rest on the fourth day, and then begin another 3-day cycle.

Schedule 3: Work out daily, alternating between cardio exercises and strength-training.

Many people like to focus their 3day workout routine around one outdoor activity like biking or swimming, and this is a great way to have fun while exercising. The trouble is that the former takes care of only the lower body, while the latter focuses mainly on the upper body. The best way to get a total-body workout is to do a different activity or routine focusing on one muscle group per day.

Some people like to work out all muscle groups for each day. If you want to go for this type of routine, three sets of 15 reps per muscle group is recommended. If you are a beginner, however, this might prove too tiringperhaps even dangerous to those coming from a sedentary lifestyle. To be safe, do week one with one set per muscle group, and move on to weeks two and three with two sets of each. By the end of the fourth week, you should be able to do three sets of each with little difficulty.

Needless to say, you will find many variations of workout routines schedules. Whichever you choose, keep in mind that it is reasonable to allow a full month for your body to get used to a new routine, especially if you are a beginner. The important thing here is to ease the body into a routine that would best help achieve your goals. There is no sense rushing the body, only to end up burnt out or injured before you have made any progress.
