How To Draw Your Weekly Workout Plan

-

There are two views of the body you should be concerned about when working out. Some people usually focus on one view and leave the other view uncatered for.  You have to realize that your muscle groups have three views, the front, side and the back. You have to deliberately cater for the three views to have the perfect aesthetics. If you work towards having a perfect front and back view, you would also have a perfect side view. 
You will find in most people that some have well developed back muscles but unfortunately do not have a perfectly built abdomen. Others have well built upper body but the lower body is undeveloped. 

How can we achieve the perfect aesthetics? It might require a perfect routine I suppose. 
You have at most four days to work at the gym, therefore in these days you should  work on the upper,lower,frontal,and back muscle groups. 
To draw a weekly workout plan that carters for all views, please follow the suggestions below. 
Note: 
For all muscle groups, three or more programs should be done on each day in 45 minutes at least. Time for workout should not exceed an 1hr where there have been no distractions or reasons to share equipments. 
For each program, three sets must be done with ten repititons per set and then the next program engaged almost immediately. You can allow for a minute rest. 

Day One: Upper Body (Back): The muscles visible on the back are the back muscles (deltoids, Lats and shoulders/upper back) and the triceps. You should work on this group on day one.  
Day Two: Lower Body (Front): The frontal muscles on the lower body are the abdomen (upper and lower abdomen) and the thighs. You can work on these muscle groups on this day. 

Day Three: Upper Body (Front) :The muscles visible are the chest muscles( upper,lower and mid chest), the biceps and shoulders. You should do three programs for each muscle group. 
Day Four: Lower Body (Back): The muscles visible from the back on the lower body are  abdominal obliques, hamstrings, buttocks and calves. You can work this muscle group on this day. 
(Note: Most lower body programs work on the frontal and back lower muscles, hence you can incorporate this programs in one day. 
This incorporation will give you a three day calendar to follow weekly)
However, if you follow my lower body program that would be suggested later on this blog, you would need a three day rest off lower body workout. Yes, they are that “crazy”.)

Day Five: Side Muscles (Full Body Day) : Almost all muscles groups  are visible from the side view, hence this is your full body day. You can do 10 to 20 full body programs that should touch all muscle groups. (You can skip this day by incorporating full body programs on your workout day)
Following this post would be detailed articles on each programs you can do from day one to day four or five as the case might be.

Her childhood sprinting career was cut short by a heart disease and Asthma but Dorathy Olali says, she's been inspired by testimonies of how fitness had helped others overcome certain health issues.

She is also a fitness trainer who has worked with some companies and at various events. I sat with her last week to discuss her journey, her routines and about women in the industry.  Dorathy’s Workout Routine Dorathy works out at mornings from 6am to about 9am.

She also loves to use the stairs/steps where she says one can build all part...

We Don't Workout For Fun

I saw a post from Sarah on Facebook about a sport clothing line her friend had just launched.  I quickly contacted Sarah indicating my interest to model for the line. Sarah was eager to hook me up, she said “after all nobody works out for fun”.  I had no idea Sarah knew I was working out but that statement got me confused because at the time, I was doing it all for fun.  I still workout for fun but for most people workout is no fun. At seventeen, I had began my fitness journey taking a cue from seventeen year old Tony, who was an aspiring model at the time. I had one goal then, “to have killer abs like Tony”.  At the age of 21, I was an aspiring model, I was a little ripped with a cute face to compliment but unfortunately, not enough height to win the mark. In a bid to improve my chances, I opted for a perfect skin, so I visited a so-called skin care expert. To cut a very long story short, I got my skin botched and that lead to depression. I wasn't going to lose all ...

Muscle Memory with Anita Ejiofor M. D

I am dedicating this article to Deji since he coined the phrase “muscle memory “ during the course of our discussion after he read my article on  body types  . Deji had recently returned to the gym after a five year hiatus, according to him, his gym mates were  quit suspicious about his massive and almost immediate gains since returning. He had thought perhaps genetics and the fact that he is predominantly a Mesomorph might have contributed to this.  After reading my article, he decided he was going to share it with his mates so they would understand why he was gaining faster than they did.  However, Deji had mentioned “muscle memory” as a reason for such gains since he had used a gym 5 years ago, although he didn't follow any routine per say or had a trainer to guide him. The question is? Is a month’s worth of work enough for muscle memory?  I have a friend who thinks he is naturally predisposed to growing muscles, he says “it runs in the family”. But apar...
