Exercise Program Design

When starting an exercise program what should it look like, well I hope it isn’t what I describe in this article

. If you are looking for a full body workout, the exercises you select are very important here are a few suggestions and a sample workout order.

· Work big muscle groups before small muscle groups (e.g Pectorals before biceps)

· If your trying to build strength, you should be doing no more than 12-15 reps, if your going higher you might as well be doing cardio. ( e.g 6-12 range is usually the best)

· 2-4 sets for each exercise is usually sufficient

· Take a day off between workouts, your body needs time to recover
