This is a superset workout that hits all the major muscle groups and is great for when you have a crazy week and need to compress
multiple upper body days into one.
Once im finished i have a protein shake and about an hour after that i have two more egg whites, pb2, and a sweet potato on leg day or a banana
on upper body days... am i over-eating around my workouts?
On
the upper body days, feel free to superset push and pull exercises to save time.
It's a far better idea to put your muscle groups in a non-competitive order, for example alternating between pushing days and pulling days or, alternatively,
upper body days and lower body days.
Then on Day 2 you will do all lower body exercises, thus giving
your upper body a day of rest.
Focus on the areas of your body you're going to train but do warm the entire body as well — so if it's
upper body day, get your arms moving to wake up the shoulder joints, do some elevated upper body push - ups, jumping jacks, etc..
I like to do
an upper body day, lower body day and then a day off.
Typically if I work out lower body / legs on Monday, then Tuesday is
my upper body day and then on Wednesday I am doing some type of cardio / plyometrics day with some legs but always different exercises.
The best way to get in shape is to work out your whole body, either you can do a full body workout 3 or 4 times per week or split the sessions up and do lower body one day and
upper body another day.
The beauty of breaking up the upper body into two days is you can do one
upper body day on Monday, lower body on Tuesday, the other upper body on Wednesday, add in a recovery day, then start again.
This exercise is included in
the upper body days of the Thrillist challenge, but it's a good substitute for more lower - body focused cardio.
i work out 6 days a week in the evening; 3 days split training (one leg day and 2
upper body days and i train heavy for about an hour) followed by 30 mins of cardio, and 3 days of HIIT, Tabata or Kettlebell for minimum 1 hr.
Like we said before, it is best to add to your workout plan «
upper body days» or «pull days», because let's be honest, it can be difficult getting that back looking like you want it.
Instead of having a «back day», it is best to have an «
upper body day».
If you are a beginner, it's best to start your «
upper body day» at just two times a week.
Squats are a no - go in these leggings so I'll stick to wearing these for cardio or
upper body days.
