Workout Routines

Workout routines refer to the type of exercises, the number of sets, the number of reps, and so on that you perform for each body muscle. For instance, 3 sets each on incline bench press, flat bench press, and 2 sets with flat bench dumbbell flyes. They are some of the chest weightlifting exercises.

A workout split refers to the way you divide your workout routine. Say, you do toning workout routines on Monday, and ab workout routine on Thursday. There are people who complain that they can’t stick to their workout routines, as it’s too time consuming to drive all the way to the gym. Well, why not try home workout routines? It’s easy to make workout routines schedules. Here’s how you do it.

Free Workout Routines

One thing that you need to consider while scheduling a total gym workout routine is that split the routine in such a way that your muscles don’t get exerted. One body building workout routine that I would NEVER approve of is doing chest on Monday, triceps on Tuesday, and shoulders on Wednesday. This overtrains your triceps. Because every chest and shoulder workout trains the triceps secondary and nearly all back workouts train your biceps secondary. Therefore, the best way is to perform one of the three things while scheduling the routine.

3 Day Workout Routine

Here are three tips to plan a perfect 3 day workout routine:
• Work your chest, shoulders, and triceps on the same day; back and biceps on the same day. It’s fine if your secondary muscles get worked out because you are going to do that anyway.
• Separate muscles that train a secondary muscle in such a manner that they are at a distance that does not overtrain them. For instance, do chest workouts on Monday, work your triceps on Wednesday, and do your shoulders on Friday.
• Work your triceps with chest on Monday, and work biceps with your back on Friday.
