Healthy Food Chart

Since we've been talking about how many days per week you should workout in order to get the best weight loss results, I’d like to go ahead and lay out what I consider to be one of the top formats for scheduling your exercise days during the week.

Sample Weekly Schedule:

Monday: Resistance Training + Intervals
Tuesday: Longer Aerobic Cardio Day or Intervals
Wednesday: Recovery Day
Thursday: Resistance Training + Intervals
Friday: Longer Aerobic Cardio Day or Intervals
Saturday or Sunday: Choose 1 day to exercise doing whatever fun activity you choose and then take the other day as a recovery day.

In the workout program schedule above you'll see that you have a nice balance between resistance work and cardio days. This type of format also allows for no more than 2-3 days in a row without taking a recovery day. This is also the type of program where you shouldn’t feel yourself getting burnt out or bored from doing the same workout every time you’re at the gym (or at home). Technically, you never have to repeat a workout at any point during the week as long as you have 2 separate resistance training days and cardio workouts!
