The Scientific Approach to the Best Workout Plan for You
It's the end of March and the start of April, which means it's a great time to take stock of your fitness goals and consider whether your workout plan is working for you. As we approach summer, we can't help but think about what comes next.
First, we'll have to admit that whatever exercise we're currently doing isn't working. Maybe it's not as effective as we'd like, or maybe it no longer excites us. Whatever the case, it's important to evaluate our current routine and consider what changes need to be made in order to achieve better results.
Next, we'll have to think about what kind of person we want to be. Are you the type who likes getting up early and going for a run? Or maybe you're more of an evening exerciser. Whatever your style, there are workouts that will suit your personality type.
Finally, we'll have to decide on a goal. What do you want from your workout? Do you want to lose weight? Get stronger? Increase endurance? Establishing a clear objective will make all the difference when it comes time to put together a workout plan that works for you!
If you're looking to bulk up, you can't beat Flybird's home gym equipment. In fact, right now Flybird Fitness has got a deal on Flybird adjustable weight bench and Flybird adjustable dumbbells.
But if you're not sure what exercises to do, check out our guide to the best workout routines for each month. With April fast approaching, it's time to get serious about lifting.
You'll need at least three days a week for this routine — ideally more like five. We recommend alternating between the following muscle groups:
- Chest - pec deck
- Shoulders - overhead press
- Back - seated row or pullup
- Triceps - overhead extension with rope handle or lying triceps extension
- Biceps - barbell curl or hammer curl
- Legs - leg press or leg extension
- Abs - hanging leg raise or ab roller
In order to build a strong base, you will want to focus on the major muscle groups: legs, chest, and back.
This is what the foundation of your program will look like for the month of April.
- Chest: Incline Dumbbell Bench Press 3 sets of 10-12 reps
- Back: Bent Over Barbell Row 3 sets of 8-10 reps
- Legs: Back Squat 3 sets of 6-8 reps
- Shoulders: Military Press 3 sets of 10-12 reps
- Biceps: Standing Barbell Curl 3 sets of 8-10 reps
- Triceps: Close Grip Bench Press 3 sets of 10-12 reps
The best workout plan for you is the one that combines getting stronger with better body mechanics.
Getting stronger is a good idea because it can help you build more muscle mass and also because it can improve your overall health and fitness.
However, if you are not working out correctly you may be missing out on some of these benefits.
For example, by building stronger shoulder muscles you can become more flexible and agile as well as less prone to injury. If you have weak shoulders then when lifting heavy weights or doing any type of overhead activity like overhead presses or barbell rows they will be compromised by this weakness.
Other benefits include:
• Increased strength and power output from your muscles
• Improved coordination between different muscle groups such as your shoulders, arms, and legs
• Increased range of motion for joint movements like squats and deadlifts with less risk of injury due to overuse injuries like tendonitis or bursitis (these types of injuries usually occur when performing exercises incorrectly).
Before you start your shoulder workout, it's important to warm up. This helps reduce injury and increase flexibility and strength. A simple warm-up involves walking or jogging for five minutes, followed by doing 10 jumping jacks and 10 bodyweight squats. If you have extra time, you can also do some light stretching before your workout.
The next step is to do some resistance training. The best way to do this is to choose one exercise from each of the following categories: push, pull, squat, and hinge. Perform three sets of eight to 12 reps for each exercise.
Push exercises include push-ups, dips, and overhead presses. Pull exercises include dumbbell rows and pull-ups. Squat exercises include goblet squats and lunges. Hinge exercises include deadlifts, kettlebell swings and hip thrusts.
To finish your workout, do a cool down routine that involves light stretching for five minutes or more.
Aside from all of the tips mentioned above, remember to keep it slow and steady. Don't worry about overdoing it, or pushing through exercise pains—that is going to be counterproductive. Take the time to learn from, take your time doing each individual exercise, and make sure you're relieving any tightness in your muscles as you go. This is a good way of making sure that you're getting all of the full workout benefits while simultaneously avoiding bad habits and unnecessary strain on your musculoskeletal system.
