The Every Other Day Workout
Wednesday, April 28, 2010 23:54 Yesterday, I sent you a sample weekly workout schedule you can use to organize your weight loss workout routine. However, after a few people mentioned that they only have about 3 days a week to workout I wanted to share with you my "every other day workout" routine for weight loss.
As I've said in the past, 3 days a week can be sufficient in terms of exercising as long as you are staying active on the other days.
Now, here’s an example of how you can set up your workout routine using just an every other day program:
Monday: Resistance Training + Intervals
Tuesday: Be Active
Wednesday: Longer Cardio Day or Intervals
Thursday: Be Active
Friday: Resistance Training + Intervals
Saturday: Be Active
Sunday: Longer Cardio Day or Intervals
(Cycle repeats by taking off Monday and then starting back up on Tuesday of the next week)
In the every other day workout program you will fit in 3-4 days per week of working out and by switching up your resistance training and cardio workouts you’ll prevent muscle overuse and hopefully any boredom from repeating the same workout over and over!
