As a beginner, I remember scouring the internet for the PERFECT workout. I have since learned that there is no perfect workout. Fitness is a process that you continually improve upon. The following are two training methods that beginners can use to design their own effective, progressive workouts:
Method #1: Design your Program based on How Much Time you have to Workout
Lets say you were planning on waking up at 6 am to get a nice 45 minute workout. You need to get to work at 9, which means you need to get out of the house at 8, meaning that your workout can’t go past 7 am. You oversleep and end up waking up at 6:45.
Now you have less than 15 minutes to get a quick, intense workout before hitting the shower. So here’s what you do:
Trust me, if you push yourself hard enough, you’ll be spent after the 15 minutes.
Method #2: Design your Program based on How Much you want to get Done
Lets say you want to perform 100 pushups and 50 pullups in your workout. Here’s a simple way to design that workout:
For your next workout, you can stick to the same rep/set scheme and try to complete the workout faster, OR you can try to perform MORE work in the same period of time.
