A beginner program may consist of three days of weight traininWeight training is the foundation of your fitness program. A well planed and properly executed program will add lean muscle to your body, thus giving you a more prominent shape as well as increasing your metabolism. In other words you will look better and burn more calories at rest. Adding lean muscle mass is not the only benefit, you will also be strengthening your joints and increasing your bone density. This may prevent the onset of such conditions as osteoporosis and arthritis.

A well planed program starts by determining your training split. This is the number of days per week that you will be working out (at least 3 ) and the combination of body parts that will be trained on each day. Keep in mind, each muscle of the body should be worked once per week. There are exceptions to this rule, including the abdominals and the calf muscles. These are comprised of a different muscle fiber type and may be trained more than one time a week. A beginner program may consist of three days of weight training

A beginner program may consist of three days of weight traininding the abdominals and the calf muscles. These are comprised of a different muscle fiber type and may be trained more than one time a week. A beginner program may consist of three days of weight training dividing the body as follows;

DAY 1 CHEST, SHOULDERS, TRICEPS
DAY 2 BACK, BICEPS, FOREARMS
DAY 3 LEGS ( QUADS, HAMSTRING, CALVES )

*CARDIO AND ABDOMINAL TRAINING TO BE PERFORMED AFTER EACH DAY. THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE, PLEASE NOTE THAT MUSCLES MUST BE TRAINED IN ORDER OF SIZE ( LARGE TO SMALL )

The next step is to establish the sets and repetitions for each exercise. Each exercise should be done three times (sets) allowing for one warm up set per body part. While training for mass or thickness , 6-10 repetitions should be used for each working set, 10 being the most you are able to do with proper form. If the primary focus of your training is size reduction,12-20 repetitions should be used. As a general rule the abdominal and calf muscles will respond better to lighter
