Training help!
Hello everyone. I was hoping that I could get some advice on how to do my workouts. Ex. which muscle groups should I put together on Monday, Tuesday, etc. ?? Right now I’ve been lifting but I don’t feel like I have a good routine laid out and would love some suggestions!
Thanks!

Just wanted to say good luck on your goals. I personally change my splits according to the areas of my body that need the most attetion but at the same be sure that each muscle is worked at least once a week. Visit my page to check it out! Again , Good luck!

I love to stay in shape. I believe that working out and dieting is a complete lifestyle change. You have to be prepared for it. I tried to jump right into it a few times hardcore and failed. Over time I have done so much reading about working out and learning about eating that it has now become second nature. The gym is my second home.
Good luck with the program musclebeach79 is going to write for you. If you ever need advice about a certain muscle group you want to workout let me know and i can give a few pointers. I am no trainer by any means but I have done my reading and testing in the gym. Hope to see more blogs! Have a good lift!

Check out the forums and the excersize logs, they have some great ideas. Do lots of cardio in the beginning.You look good the way you are. Oh and try to keep a split between your upper and lower body. Goood luck CUTY.

It has taken me years to devise a few great workouts that I simply love. I would suggest finding a workout here on BodyBuilding.com that you like. You could swipe one off one of a fitness competitor’s page, a fellow bodyblogger, or whatever.
Then, look at exercises to target zones that are important to you. Find new workouts in magazines, like FitnessRX or Women’s Health. Keep trying new things. Add what you like, and ignore what you don’t.
If you’re a beginner, do a toning workout for six to eight weeks to build strength. Then you can really boost your muscle and burn more calories while switching in more difficult workouts every four to six weeks.
Good Luck!

I think you look fine the way your picture has you. It would be my opinion to just start toning up the body. Do weights and less cardio. Stick to cardio three times a week; no more then 20-25 minute sessions. Weight wise, use somewhat heavy weight with higher repetitions (15-20 reps) per set (2-3 total after warm up). Your training schedule should be as much as possible through the week. I would suggest the following: Monday=Chest with Biceps, Tuesday=Shoulders, Wed.=Back with Triceps, Thurs.=Legs. As for Abs, I believe in training them everyday to failure on every set. I think the "power crunch" ab exercise machine does the best because of the range of weight you can adjust the machine to, as well as the range of abdominals you hit with one move (obliques, lower and upper). Best of luck.

What do you want to do with you have beautiful structure and nice shoulders you may want to consider a strength routine with light cardio and just build on your frame look me up for advice if you want I have been training since 89 (early teens) and have worked with people wanting variouse reults

I agree with Lelantos and sixzebra, monday, back/biceps, tuesday, shoulders, wed, chest, triceps,, thursday, legs, then take a break for a day or so, do a small amount of cardio each day to keep up your cardiovascular fitness, and make sure to change your diet to include more veggies, less fatty junk food. That’s the hard part right there, is to stay away from pizza and hamburgers, TRUST me, I resist the urge everyday not to just order a pizza and eat that whole thing at one go. It’s all mental though, it really is, you can achieve anything you put your mind to just look at the people on this site…-Scorp
