how often do you hit the gym

[sammy297]

Pam I hit the gym 2 days 1 day 2 days my split is like this i found it seems to work the best Legs+Abs, Shoulders+calves+obliques, REST, Back+biceps+abs, Chest+triceps+Obliques REST and i rotate Heavy legs light back Heavy Shoulders light chest and swap the next cycle. I also walk every day steady start cardio 35 min fasted. Will increase this as time goes on. If you are lean you need to concentrate on heavy compound exercises to get some muscle (make sure you up your protein as well) i would also not walk if you want to stock up let your muscles heal, dont be afraid to go heavy and dont forget the big exercises Squats, deadlifts, incline bench, bench (especially for women) shoulder press (both) to make sure you get your rear delts. Also I always include (never miss them) Walking lunges mid weight to light weight unfortunately us women tend to hold junk in the trunk, I also do lots of crap for my hamstrings they just never want to be seen. If you want my routine I can post it up for you but i really like to mix it up alot to shock my muscles.

5-6 days a week.

2-3 times per week, depending on how I am recovering, usually 3 days per week, but will cut back if I need more rest. Keeping in mind you grow while resting not while training.

Will occasionally go for a walk but may be only once a week.

Was doingh above training about an hour each time, so about three hours a week, starting this week will be training 5-6 times per week but only training half an hour, and will see how that goes.

Reason: I want to up the intensity of the workouts for individual body parts (body part split) more intense short workouts with longer rest/recovery for individual muscle groups that will be hit hard once a week.

5day split. 2 cardio days. At the mercy of gym/work hours.

 

[Persistenttiger]

3-4 days. Basically weight training (full body with compound movements) every second or third day, with sprint intervals once a week after the weights, or a long leisure walk. Goal is to build muscle, so I'm trying to keep the cardio low - I don't want to drop it completely because I enjoy it and it's healthy.

What keeps me motivated is trying to beat personal bests, seeing my body change and it makes me feel so damn good that I really miss it if I take too long a break!

Don't go to the gym. Getting a decent set up happening at home. Do bench on Mondays, deads on Wednesdays, and Squats on Fridays. Also try to do HIIT after each ses. And a couple of walks here and there. My motivation is to never get back to where I was 2 years ago 65kg heavier than I am now. But still a long way to go.

[McKwl]

just wondering how often you train at the gym weight to cardio ratio
And what keeps you motivate

3 days a week, weights only (no "cardio").

The weights get heavier. I get stronger. I like that.

One day, I'd like to set up a home gym. That would be fun.
