This essential routine can be carrying out three days per week, with a day off between workouts and more often than not the weekends off. You should begin with weights that you feel very contented with and gradually add to poundage as your strength builds. A proper diet should be incorporated along with the program. It may be better to eat five small meals a day instead of the usual three larger ones. Abundance of diet plans can be found created particularly for weight programs. Make sure to take the time off in between workouts as this is just as significant as the workout itself. The program will aim to address all body parts in a basic three day routine. I like to do Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but you can do what works best for you.

Monday

Bench Presses 8 Reps 3 Sets

Squats 8 Reps 3 Sets

Bent Rows 8 Reps 3 Sets

Pull Downs 8 Reps 3 Sets

Standing Curls 8 Reps 3 Sets

Military Press 8 Reps 3 Sets

Carry out this routine three times weekly. The compound movement exercises will aid to have an effect on the entire body thus concerning many muscle groups. You may want to alternate one exercise for another once in a while to keep things from getting boring. An example would be doing some dumb bell curls instead of the basic standing curls or do some close grip bench presses instead of the standard. Once you have performed this routine for eight to ten weeks, take a week off. This will help your body to build up your strength. From there you can move on to more highly developed workout routines or make a decision which direction you want to go. Whether it is power lifting, body building, or just general fitness, this routine will give you a good base on which to start.
