HOW TO PLAN MY WORKOUTS

Learn how to organize and plan your workouts for your week

What's going on guys? My name is Coach Malik with MBP Training and in this video we're going to talk about how to organize and plan your workouts

The first thing you want to think about when you plan out your workouts for the week

is how many times am I going to work out per week. Am I going to work out two times per week, three times per week

or am I going to work out six times per week and have one day rest. This is the first question you want to ask

because based off of how many times you go and work out in the week is the exact number that you want to be able to split up your routine

Because depending on how many days you're going to work out for the week is going to depend on what we're going to hit on those days

So let's say you're going to work out three times a week, right, two to three

which gives us more rest during the week because there's seven days

So we work out two or three, we're going to have four days or more of rest

So these types of programs, you're going to want to hit full body. You're going to want to hit full body because you're going to be able to have enough time

throughout those other four days or five days to rest and recover

Now if you're going two, I'll go high intense, full body. Whereas if you're going three, I'd maybe go medium intensity

so you can work hard every three days that you go work out. Let's say you're going to go work out four times a week

Now four times a week, you could have different types of splits. One is a push-pull, right, so you can go one day you can push, push, push

and this could be a lower body push as well. And then on that second day you can go pull, pull, pull, again lower body pull as well

And then just switch off those with a day in between. Like Monday push, Tuesday pull, Wednesday rest

Thursday push, Friday pull, Saturday, Sunday rest. That's just one option. Another option would be lower body, upper body, right

So you can split that up two times in your week. So you can go Monday lower, Tuesday upper, Wednesday rest

Thursday lower, Friday upper, Saturday, Sunday rest. That's another option you can do

You could also do a higher intensity, lower intensity day. So let's say you go push-pull

You go Monday push heavy, Tuesday pull heavy, Wednesday rest and then you can go back Thursday push light, a little higher reps, lower weight

and then Friday pull light, higher reps, lower weight. So you can always mix it up

I just always recommend you listen to your body and feel how it's feeling throughout your workouts

and also the next day after your workout so you know what to do when you go back into the gym

So these are just examples of four times a week. Now let's go to five times a week

So if you go five times a week, now we're going to be able to spread out

our workouts and our exercise groups a little bit more. We're going to have only two days of rest, right

And in my past videos, you guys saw the seven to eight different body movements

That's what you're going to want to balance throughout the five days. So now we're going to split up even shorter rather than upper body

We're now going to maybe go upper body chest try, right. Instead of just lower body, maybe we're going to go quad focus slash knee dominant

Lunges, step ups, stuff like that. Then we maybe go pull. We're going to go a little bit more

We're going to go back by, right. We're going to go back to upper or lower

We can go deadlifts and hip dominant, right. And then going back to upper, we can go push and pull if we wanted to

We can go shoulders. We can go core heavy and yada, yada

Because we're working out more than we are resting during the week, we're able to split up our muscle groups a little bit more so that they still have

enough time to rest and recover while still getting our five workouts in for that week

Now, one thing I do want to recommend, if you are working out five to six times a week

you do want to make sure that you do have a recovery day. If you are going to do something on that seventh day

I highly recommend it being an active cardio or an active rest day

Maybe you're going on a hike. Maybe you're going out to the beach, just enjoying some nature

But I highly recommend that you do take a day off of the weights or a day off of intense exercise

That way your body can go into a recovery state and build back the muscle that we broke down during the workouts
