Develop a Workout Routine

Developing a solid, idiot proof routine is absolutely essential into making progress. We need a simple routine that anyone can follow and have fun following it. For the sake of getting started, we're going to start with a routine that doubles as a collection of simple weight loss steps along with a beginners guide to burning fat and building muscle.

For starters, we need to make sure we can adhere to the routine. In order to do this, we need to be able to spare a time where we are almost 100% certain we can make to workout. Most people don't have 7 days a week to try to get rid of the extra belly fat or to sculpt big biceps. A three day split for working it out is very common, very practical, and very effective. This split allows the muscles to regenerate and grow and it also helps to prevent you and me from burning out. The term 3-day split refers to a split amongst a 7 day week, meaning you pick the 3 best days to workout. This method provides a great deal of flexibility to schedule and reschedule your workouts to best suit you. Something to watch out for, is that a lot of routines get derailed when 3 consecutive days are skipped; try to avoid this by scheduling something at least every other two days. If that is absolutely not possible, be sure to do something to remind yourself you still need to workout; these simple weight loss steps mean nothing if they produce no action.

Now that the workouts are scheduled, it is time to determine what exactly to workout. Some people swear and die by working out only 1 muscle per day, others swear by matching up workouts in which complimentary muscles are involved to maximize effectiveness and efficiency. Since we're going for an efficient, flexible workout plan here, we're going to match up complimentary muscles. Complimentary muscles are the muscles that are being worked out indirectly when another major group is being worked out. This means if you're working out your chest, your triceps will often be engaged, too. With that being said, a simple step to weight loss, fat burning, and muscle feeding we will follow the following routines:

Day 1 : Back, Bicep, Forearm
Day 2 : Chest, Shoulder, Triceps
Day 3: Legs, Abs (Some people say Abs should be done everyday, people like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Feel free to add them to all three days, a single day, or on your day off.)


Now that we've established the first two simple weight loss steps, fat burning tips, and muscle building tricks, it's onto number 3....Keep the workout under 1 hour! UNDER 1 HOUR. If you are working out properly it should not take more than 45 minutes to hit all your major muscles, the idea is to be precise in your workout and not pollute it with filler. Again, SIMPLE WEIGHT LOSS or SIMPLE MUSCLE BUILDING, there is no need to exceed 15 reps per movement and to exceed 3 movements per muscle group until you're at a truly elite level of bodybuilding and weight lifting. Follow this little rule. At first, it may be difficult to grasp that you'll get those bigger biceps or remove that excess belly fat in LESS time, but I assure you it's true. Remember the adage, "less is more"? I have no idea who said it but it certainly holds true here.
