“How often can I exercise?” / workout Structures 09:27 – 10:15
Its depending on level/experience/intensity of workouts/total exercise & volume (total, sets and reps). A
balance between performance/recovery.
And personal preference of exercising:
When, what & how often you want to exercise?
- Full body workouts (full body worked with a few exercises for each part – every workout).
Approx. Every 2nd or 3rd day (Gap/recovery between as the same moves/muscles will be worked each
time). Also depending on the parameters mentioned above. Find a balance that works.
- Split – muscle Group/Push & Pull, etc.
Try find somewhere around 2-3 times a week per group/moves then work from there eventually
change/adjust.
Example of splits:
- Lower body & upper body alternated between days
(Lower-upper-lower-rest-upper-lower-upper) or (lower-rest-upper-rest-lower-rest-upper) etc.
6 or 4 workouts a week & 1 or 3 days rest = each muscle group worked 3 times or twice.
- Push/Pull (upper body) / legs & glutes split.
(Push = chest/shoulders/triceps primary
pull = back/biceps primary)
Performed 2x a week (3+3 workouts a day’s = each muscle group trained 2x).
Legs/glutes can of course also be combined with the other days.
Abs/core: incorporated/combined in a few workouts per week.
