Just Three Times Per Week is All it Takes!
To get started, hitting the gym just three times each week is enough. Many people are surprised to hear this. The classic bodybuilder phrase for those three trainings tells it all about the muscle groups you exercise during each gym visit – which should last no longer than one hour:
- Chest & Tri’s (triceps)
- Back & Bi’s (biceps)
- Shoulders, Legs, Thighs
Exercise those muscle groups once each week and you are on your way to changing not just your physique and physical well-being, but your self-esteem, confidence level and overall happiness.
Getting Started
The hardest part about embarking upon a fitness program is getting started… doing your first warm-up, preparing to train with weights when you do not really know what you are doing can seem daunting. The trick is to JUST DO IT!
There are a million excuses why not to start today and why to procrastinate – but you have to just get going and learn as you go. You do not need an expensive gym membership, fancy training gear nor any expensive equipment. Some people can get fit with the help of nothing more than an open floor space and gravity! Pushups, situps and other weightless exercises can be a good way to start if you have been using the tired old exuse of not having the proper equipment.
