Second Week

So here we are, the second week into the New Year and we might be a little sore from last week. This is not time to take a break but begin to create a routine that you can easily follow each week. What I am about to show you is a five day program. This can be modified for three days or even two days and I will try and describe those programs at the end.

Now, this is the first Monday of the New Year and in most gyms, for those that go regularly, Mondays are usually Chest days. This is a good time to begin to put a routine together so that every Monday you know what you are going to do and for other people, Mondays are a great day to begin to cardio classes such as Step or Aerobic.

On Tuesday you still aren’t too sore so it is good to get some Back work in. So today let’s spend some time working our back from top to bottom. You only really need to do four exercises to get every part of your back completely. Now, unless you are trying to build muscle it is suggested that you start and finish with 5 to 10 minutes of cardio.

On Wednesday you should be feeling Monday now and because of that we need to give your body a chance to rest so today let’s do Legs. In most gyms in America, Wednesday is leg day. By doing legs in the middle of the week it gives your upper body chance to recover for Thursday’s Arms. However today I would suggest starting with 15 minutes of cardio or at least until your about ready to breakout in a good sweat. Now you may want to supplement this day with a Spin class or Step aerobics to get that sweat you really need. Then Enjoy.

On Thursday today is Biceps and Triceps day, this should be the hardest day of the bunch and it should take you a few minutes more to complete. Please note that the previous workouts should take you no longer than 30 minutes to complete. Once arms are complete then take Friday off and then I suggest going to the next paragraph.

On Saturday, this should be your shortest day. Today is shoulders day. Before starting shoulders I would suggest getting in a spin class or something similar so that you can get the sweat you need to get. Once you got your sweat on then go workout your shoulders.
Sunday take off and then repeat this series for the next few months. If at all possible find a buddy to do this with it will make it much more fun and challenging.
