Creating Exercise Programs

nicolefit Posts: 17 Joined: 2003/01/02	2003/01/17, 11:01 AM Hi, Is it a good idea to write (type) out a program for weight training. And what is the best way of going about that? For instance if you focus on biceps, triceps, back and shoulders do you plan 2 type of exercises for each muscle? I'm new but would like to learn... Thanks, Nicole

I try to hit all parts of the muscle that I am working, for example: chest, bench press, incline press, and declines. This way I get a all around chest workout. I also keep a log of what I lift on each exercise, Number one reason, I never want to go down on my weights and what a thrill when I go up. I just use a regular notebook and log my monday workout, tuesday workout and so on. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

I am doing one of the programs right now, and its awsome. It's seems to put me where I want to be after my workout. Each day focuses on something different. For example today was my legs, I did 4 exercises. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P.
