Workout Routine

Question: Workout Routine? I have just started working out again. I am trying to get onto a good workout routine, but I am not sure which muscle groups to work on a given day. i was thinking, Chest and arms 1 day. Shoulders and back another day, and then legs another day. and then repeat. Is this a good workout routine, or could i group another thing together to make it 2 days and not 3. And is this the correct way to work those muscle groups?

Answer: well the best work out routine i have found is do heavy weight low reps (5X5) on mondays do chest and tricepts.. tuesday do bicepts and back... and legs on wednesday. and thursday do alot of high rep low weight.. (4x10).. on all upper body.... run three times a week and do crunches 4 times a week and .. u have to rest on the weekends so ure body will recover... remember drink plenty of water...

Hope one of them works for you!

Answer: just work out what ever muscle u want to get bigger bench press for pecks, curls for biceps, pull ups for back and lats, leg extensions for quadriceps, hyper extensions for back, push ups for triceps and dips also work well. for abs do sit ups with or with out weights and crunches. as for dieting, eat as much protein as possible. basically thats all you need to eat to gain muscle

Question: WORKOUT ROUTINE???????????????? I do this every day 2 laps around a paking lot in bike 20 min. running 34 squats 75 sit ups 45 Overhead Press 75 breach Press and other arm exercies wich name I do know please tell me is this a good workout routine???? thank u!

Answer: It would be good to split up the both so you have the:34 squats 75 sit ups 45 Overhead Press 75 breach Press and other arm exercies wich name I do know and then the next day have: 2 laps around a paking lot in bike 20 min. running You should split them up but if you do put them together i reccomend taking a day break because your muscle will get to tired and they could eaither pull or strech! AND THAT HURTS! So if you do them both the day, do it every otherday to give your muscles a day rest and then be fresh for the next day. Good Luck, Dirtdevil1313.

Question: What workout routine should I do to stay fast while building muscle? I'm 23 years old, I can run pretty fast and I can bench more than my weight. My back and abs are strong, my arms aren't as good and my legs are in between. I want to find a workout routine that is good for me that fits well into a busy week that builds my speed and strength up. Something that has predictable results that I can use a notebook with is ideal. Any suggestions?

Answer: I workout with a trainer 2 times a week, and we mix it up between strength training, cardio and core fitness. When I'm not at the gym I work out for a half-hour to an hour focusing on cardio training. It's important to eat healthy, but within reason. I like to make healthy juice drinks in the morning and afternoon, and then eat a normal dinner. Everything in moderation, including moderation I say.

Question: What is the best workout routine to become more fit? I want to find the best workout routine to become fit. I need a routine that will make me more a little more muscular, flexibel, etc. I need a routine that will make me more athletic.

Answer: This is a very broad question, and difficult to answer. You will most likely want to incorporate the following: -- Daily Cardio Cardio is the best thing you can do to lose weight and increase your general health. -- Nutrition Overhaul Proper nutrition is absolutely crucial to any exercise program. Whether you want to lose weight, increase muscle mass, or simply just improve your health, proper nutrition is critical. -- Weekly Muscle Workouts If you are looking for overall muscle development, you should work each muscle group 1-2 times a week (abs every day). I do arms on Monday and Friday, Legs on Tuesday, Chest on Wednesday, and my Shoulders and Back on Thursday. It's important to work the muscles correctly so that you're sore the next day in those muscle groups, but not sore after 2 days. To get the desired results, you will need to do Reps and Sets. Generally, a Rep is one movement (one pushup). A set is a group of Reps, and usually you do enough Reps until you can't do anymore. For pushups, I generally do 15 (very slowly) the first set, until I can't do another. Then I wait 2-3 minutes and do 13-14 on the 2nd set (because I can't do 15 again). Then 12-13, then 11-12, then 10. I do 5 sets each time I work out, and at the end, your muscles should feel stretched and stiff. The next day, you will feel sore. The following day you may be a little tender, but should not be in any pain. It's important to give yourself at least 3 days between workouts to allow your body to heal. This is when your body builds the muscle; when it's repairing the damage. When exercising, make sure you are making slow, precise, and focused movements, working the muscles you are targeting, and only those muscles. Consistency, determination, control, and posture are paramount. If you do sloppy, fast exercises, you will not see any progress, and you risk personal injury or joint pain. For at-home workouts, I strongly recommend going to Youtube and taking a look at the videos posted by user Scooby1961. Very easy at-home workouts, and tons of very useful information for beginners.

Question: What kind of workout routine should I use at the gym? I signed up at the gym in an effort to lose some weight! I know how to use the machines at the gym, I just don't know how to put them all in 1 workout and make them effective. Does anyone know of an awesome workout routine that I can do at the gym? I don't want a personal trainer because that can get expensive! :) So if any of you have a great workout routine at the gym, do you mind sharing it with me?! I appreciate it!

Answer: Are you sure the gym doesn't offer a free session or 2 with one of their trainers? You need to separate your upper body and lower body workouts and split days doing it so you can rest the one set of muscles while working the other ones out (ex. MWF upper body, TThSat lower body). You can do cardio and sit ups every day. The muscles need the rest day to actually build up.

Answer: It is different for almost everybody. Basically I work out 3-4 times a week. I do chest one day, back the next, then legs, and usually the 4th day is all core/ab work. I wont do situps unless there is a PT test coming up soon. I'll also run 4 times a week, between 20-60 minutes, depending on my pace.

Question: What is the best workout routine to loose weight? I have taken some anti-depressant pills in the past that made me gain about 30-40 extra lbs. What would be the best workout routine to loose the weight? I of course prefer a combined weight lifting and cardio workout routine. Time is not really a factor now that it is close to winter but would like to loose probably 50lbs by next summer if possible.

Answer: The best exercise to lose weight is: "the exercise you'll do," says Timothy Church, MD, MPH, PhD, a professor at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. "The two things that stop people from losing weight with exercise are either boredom or injury," says physical therapist and strength and conditioning specialist Ben Quist, PhD, NSCA The truth is that weight loss is about creating a calorie deficit -- in other words, burning more calories than you take in. So, they say, while running at an 8-minute-mile pace might be a great calorie burner, if you're not going to do it, it's not going to help you. Instead, start with something you can do, like walking or working out on an elliptical machine or exercise bike. "Strength training itself will not lead to an appreciable amount of weight loss because it just doesn't burn enough calories," says Glenn Gaesser, PhD, FACSM, kinesiology professor and department head at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

Question: What would be a good workout routine for an actor and dancer? I am primarily an actor, but also plan to train in dance outside of my college classes(as I said, I am focused on acting) and need to get in shape so I am wondering what a good workout routine would be.

Answer: As an actor it is really important that you get and keep excellent alignment. If you are planning on dance as well, start with a beginners ballet class. It helps with alignment, strength, balance, toning and flexibility. It is also the base of many forms of stage movement. If you take a couple of jazz classes too, you will find yourself very very fit, very quickly. Dancers need to take class every day of their working life. If you are not planning on being a dancer I would say 3-4 classes a week will keep you going.
