| I train with weights about 3 times
a week. Every training I do 2 muscle groups (except when i'm
training legs) and during training I try to concentrate on
the muscles I am working out and on doing the exercises in
perfect form. I want my training time to be as effective as
possible and don't want to waste time and spend hours in the
gym every day. That's how I can do my weight training in three
days a week and still have the best results. I usually train
abdominals after training. I can either do a few abs exercises
after each training or do them seperately on a specific day,
either way it works for me.
My training schedule doesn't stay the same for long, I like
to make some changes frequently so that my body doesn't get
adapted to the 'routine'. Everyones body is different and
everyone respond differently so there is no such thing as
one perfect training schedule that works best for everyone
(if only it were that easy). So with training and dieting
I try to listen to the signals my body gives me and I play
in on that.
But to draw a picture for you, my training schedule basically
looks like this:
Monday: Legs
Tuesday: (cardio)
Wednesday: Back, biceps and triceps
Thursday: (cardio)
Friday: Chest and shoulders
Saturday: (cardio)
Sunday: Day off
I do cardio about 4 times a week. Depending on whether I
have a competition coming up and how I want to alter my shape
on a specific moment I could do more cardio. I usually do
them in the morning on the days I don't train with weights
or right after training.
On weekdays I am active doing weight training, cardio and
working, but Sundays are my days off. On these days I just
relax and enjoy my time off after a week of disciplined training.
