Don’t have time to go to the gym every day? Well… that’s not a problem at all. A 3day workout routine is the way to go! This means you will focus on different muscle groups one training take one day of rest and do a different workout the next training. Dependent on the workout routine you have two or three different workout a week. With three workouts you can really focus on muscles groups every training, but it will take a week before you train those muscles again. That’s why I rather do two different training, you spend less time on a muscle group but you train them more often.

The Basics

Since your training three times a week it’s going to be hard to include each body part and sufficient cardio training. Therefore it’s important to be efficient with you time and consequent with your trainings.

Trainings Days

When you train is totally up to you. It doesn’t matter on which day you train as long as you always have one day of rest in between them. This way you give your body the chance to heal and build itself. If you don’t allow yourself time for that you will easily get over trained. Where your body will actually will stop growing muscles as defense to extreme muscle stress.

One Hour

So you’re ready to spend hours in the gym? That’s too bad, because you’re not going to. After one hour of training testosterone levels begin the plummet and cortisol level are rising. Cortisol causes fat storage and muscle degeneration. Both are things we do not like. Therefore try to keep your workout within an hour. This means cut on your rest between sets and socializing with other in the gym. Don’t be afraid you’ll forget muscle groups. It's a 3day workout routine you make it up the next day!

Exercises

Since you want to get impulses to as much different muscle groups as possible do compound exercises. In contrary to isolation exercises compound exercises use multiple joints and multiples muscles. These exercise are possible in every kind of routine, not just in the gym but also using the total gym or body weight workouts. A method that’s based on multiple joints are training with kettlebells

Sets

Well this one is simple... 3 sets per exercise. On the first set you’re actually just warming up, you’re preparing your body and it’s quite easy. On the second set your body is a bit tired of the first one and it gets a bit harder. On the third set you really ask for the last bit of strength in your muscle, triggering growth of muscles.

Cardio

Take a maximum of 30 minutes for cardio… at the end of your training. This way you’re body has to use its energy reserves… that means fat! Because you’re doing cardio at the end, you don’t have a warm up. Do this by biking to you gym or even fast walking. For the 30 minutes of cardio, do whatever you want, if it’s the home trainer cross-training or rowing. Get that heart-rate up and burn those calorie.
