Finally a straight forward ideal fitness system training program that helps you maintain a commitment to a realistic attainable fitness workout that allows you to find an effective, long lasting way to keep your mind and willpower in check.
I was working out at our community center gym in my hometown awhile back and I notice this younger man was watching me go through my weight lifting routine and I could tell he wanted to ask me something so I said to him “whats on your mind”? He explained to me that he was curious about my workout routine and noticed that I seemed to be doing thing in a specific order (which I was) and wanted to know if he could follow me and do my exact routine in which I replied “please do”.

The next day he showed up and proceeded to go through my daily workout routine with me, asking questions from time to time about why I did things a certain way. I explained to him that I work out 5-6 days a week taking a day off as needed during my workout week. I explained to him that I lift weights Monday, Wednesday and Friday and that I do cardio in between and on the weekends.
Looking at my 3 day a week ideal fitness systems muscle building program my routine looks like this: Monday I work 3 different muscle groups, the pectorals (chest) the triceps and the deltoids (shoulders). When working these groups of muscles there will be some overlaping of certain muscles such as the deltoids and triceps because those muscles will be assisting in the pushing motions involving your pectoral work.
It only makes sense since these muscles are being used to also train your triceps and shoulders. I would train the chest, then the shoulders followed by your triceps which is the smaller of the 3 muscle groups and most believe that it will benefit you the most in that order.
Looking ahead to my Wednesday workout I once again run into the overlapping of certain muscle groups. When working out your back which consists of the latissimus dorsi and the biceps, you will be doing several pulling movements that also will activate the biceps so naturally we will work the biceps on the same day as our back workout.
Friday is my favorite workout day because it is leg day. I read somewhere that most workout warriors call this day “DLD”, dreaded leg day! For me it can’t come soon enough, the focus and attention to detail cannot be overlooked when working legs. You need to maintain your focus when doing your legs because it can be so taxing on the entire body. I prefer to take 2 days off after my leg workouts and I usually get a cardio workout or a serious day of stretching in because your muscles need at least one day to recuperation.
Leg day can consist of several different types of workouts for your legs but generally my legs day consists of training the calves, the back leg muscle mainly the hamstrings and finally the front leg muscles the quadriceps. Don’t overlook your legs workout because it is needed as much as any other part of your body.
Each individual person has certain reasons for exploring into a fitness program and some of the examples are to loose weight, strengthening muscles and improve their health. However, there are many, many other fundamentals that need to be addressed by everyone before starting a fitness program.
