Good Full Body (Weights) Workout

tararoach40

I'm trying to mix up my workouts - all with a little cardio of course (I do a circuit/training type class). Usually Mondays we do (Back & Chest) : Tuesdays (Arms) : Wednesdays (Free Days: I usually just do like 60 min of cardio) : Thursday (Legs) : Friday (Cardio) : Saturday (Cardio & Recovery Stretching) : Sundays (Off). I am trying to limit my cardio because I want to start building more muscle. Any trainer or hard core lifter out there have a full body pump routine (I love HARD CORE workouts & lifting) that I can do tomorrow instead of just cardio?!?! Last week I did a max out with legs workout I found, but I felt doing that than Leg day in class the next morning was a little too much legs for me!! I have about an hour and a half in the mornings to workout. Any help would be awesome! THANKS EVERYONE! HAPPY TUESDAY =]

Go to Bodybuilding(dot)com. Tons of free weight lifting programs. I'm currently doing Jamie Eason's 12 week trainer

As the previous poster said, Starting Strength is a good one too. Or pick up New Rules of Lifting for Women (NROLFW) Gooooooood information!

Just make sure you pick a strength based program isnteadnof some hypertrophy split. If you're new to lifting you don't need to worry about recovery time/over training because you're recovery time is basically non existent. After 4-6 months or so once you've built up a decent strength foundation you can think about switching to a hypertrophy program. For women, I'd say make sure you can squat and dead lift at least body weight and bench at least .75 x BW before considering hypertrophy program. Otherwise you're gains will be crap and you won't have any strength gains either.
