3 Day Split - BeginnerThis plan has 6 workouts.

A sample 3 day split program, where muscle groups are split between 3 different workouts. Each workout should be a minimum of 24 hours apart - ideally longer. For example:

Monday - Workout A (chest / triceps)
Wednesday - Workout B (legs / shoulders)
Friday - Workout C (back / biceps)

If fat loss is a goal, consider adding cardio at the end of each workout, or on non-strength training days.

The plan details 2 possible workouts for each day, to give an idea of the kind of exercises that could be done.

Since this is a beginner program, choose weights that are comfortable at first, but become difficult for the last 2 repetitions. Emphasis on control and 'feeling' the muscle, rather than weight lifted!

Full body workoutsThis plan has 2 workouts.

Pushed for time? Sometimes it's not possible to follow a strict workout plan. When this happens, it might be worth switching to a full body workout and getting a couple of quality sessions in a week.

This plan contains lots of sample full body workouts for you to use.
