What is your exercise routine and how often do you change it? What is the logic behind it? What muscles do you combine together on a particular day and why?
Re: Routine
Consists of a large portion of weight training coupled with highly energetic cardio routine, tuning my heart rate to reach anywhere between 90% and 100%. Light days are taken by resistance training. Anaerobic training, highly recommend to everyone. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a massively attractive workout. When done manually without the use of machines but in the presence of an instructor, you hit the entire body really hard for a specified period of time and the heart rate jumps up and stays where it is, forcing you to perform to the maximum, and some more. Sprinting on treadmill and climbing on StairMaster gets the job done equally well.
Re: Routine
4 days weight training which consists of every muscle in body..
1 day i strictly concentrate on pecs and triceps.
2nd day i strictly go for back and biceps
3rd day (after a day rest).. strictly go for delts and traps
4th day ...lower body ( squats, deadlifts, calf raises )
i basically bulk up for a couple of months and then shed fat by doin these exercise intensely(ofcourse i have to do cardio along with it )...thats how i got definition with bulk
Re: Routine
Interesting...but do you change your routines after a few weeks or months as your body get used to the workout?
Re: Routine
Frozenfire, how long does a day of training last for you?
Re: Routine
twice a week: 30-35 mins on the treadmill running at an incline of 1 or 2. This followed by light weight training used for triceps and squats. sometimes if my ankles cant take the running i use the elliptical. i never understood how apparently the elliptical reports more calories lost in a given amount of time as compared to the treadmill even though the treadmill gets more of a workout of me. I also dance almost every day but not necessarily to lose weight but just because i love it.
Re: Routine
i workout 3 days a week, (mon, wed, fri). After 2 months i change my days and occasionally workout on a Sunday.
1 hr 45 mins is more than enuff for me, my routine is as follows:
I try to work 3 muscle groups per workout.
Day 1: Pecs, triceps and calves.
Day 2: Quads, abs and delts.
Day 3: Traps/lats, biceps and hamstrings.
10 mins of cardio and stretching before and after workout.
