5 Day Workout Program
Weight Training Routine

 

Below is a 5-day workout that targets every muscle group in the body. The below weight training program is performed on each weekday with the weekends being rest days.

If you are a total beginner to weight training, make sure you first learn how to do each exercise correctly through the video exercise guide. However, instead of performing 4-6 repititions, start out using 10-12 reps for each exercise, until you get use to handling heavier weight. If you have no idea what I am talking about, check out the free beginners guide to weight training.
