Lifting..

strive2behealthy

I'm back on my exercise regimen (I took a little hiatus for about 4 months..big mistake. I haven't gained any of the weight back, but my muscles have deteriorated and body percent fat has gone up)

Back when I lost my first 15 pounds I would spend 4-5 times a week doing 30 minutes of cardio and I would do lifting only to my arms. I want that to change. I plan to lift 4-5 times a week, but with different muscle groups each day. Yesterday I did arms (chest press, seated row, tricep pull downs, etc.) and today I plan on doing legs & core.

Should I switch off and do arms again tomorrow, and then legs again the next day? I'm just trying to figure out what regimen for lifting will be most optimal.

Thanks.

Look at the link below. A) Pay attention to the article about training frequency. B)Do a prewritten routine that fits your goals and training level.

Awesome! Thank you. I think I'll actually try that. I'll do some more arms today & legs, then might stick with just legs/core tomorrow.

Yesterday I did arms (chest press, seated row, tricep pull downs, etc.) and today I plan on doing legs & core.

Chest press: primary muscle group = pecs, secondary muscle group = triceps
Seated row: primary muscle group = upper back, secondary muscle group = biceps

Just saying...
