If you find this workout not very good, can u please suggest an alternative 5 day workout. Mon-Chest, cardio Tues-back wed-shoulders, cardio thurs-legs fri- arms, cardio sat and sun- rest I also do abs 3 times a week and cardio lasts for 45min. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I suggest having a 4-day training split with 3 days off: Mon - Chest/Back Tues - Legs Wed - Shoulders/forearms Thurs - Rest Fri - Arms/calves Sat/Sun - Rest Keep your cardio schedule but make sure you don't do them right before weight training. You can work on abs on Tues, Thurs and Sat and/or Sun. One other suggestion: why not sign up for an ft program and let it design your workout exercises with schedule? -------------- **_Robert_**

I would recomend this routine, if you want to try. MON-CHEST, BICEPS, CALVES TUES-ABS, CARDIO WED-THIGHS, SHOULDERS THURS-ABS, CARDIO FRI-BACK, TRICEPS, TRAPS SAT-ABS, CARDIO SUN-REST This would be good becuase you will give your body rest to recover from you weght training,which leads to more muscle growth. And also burn fat at the same time with your cardio days. This is a recomendation only, but this program has helps my clients lose fat and build muscle with a good nutrition program. Good luck. -------------- "The foundation of acheivement is intense disire". God Bless!
