Gym routine

[Former_Antelopee]

I definitely recommend classes especially any circuit training classes as you get an idea of form with weight training and it seems to be a more all-round exercise.

From personal experience I started with lots of cardio just to improve fitness. Then I started circuit training classes and got a PT for a few sessions who drew up a programme for weight training and cardio and showed me proper technique with regards to squats, deadlifting and bench press.

If you want to do compound lifts like deadlifting and squats I'd recommend a PT even if just for a few sessions just so your technique is right because incorrect form can lead to injuries. It also helps just to have confidence in the weight area.

Personally I prefer doing cardio and weight training as they complement each other I feel. Like when I have stronger calves and legs I feel I can run faster etc. Also just doing one without the other gets boring I think.

I go mostly first thing in the morning (5am) after work so there isn’t any classes otherwise I would. I don’t think I’ll do squats/dead lifts just weight machines.
Thank you all I’ll have a look at the links above

Anyone willing to share their gym routine?

I currently go 5-6 times a week to the gym either weights, circuit classes or swimming 1km to stretch my muscles.

On weight days I try to do any of the following: legs/glutes/arms/back.

Keep a track of weights in the notes app on my phone too and how many sets so I can track progress.

But I’m relatively new to all this so would appreciate any advice or anyone sharing their routines

I tend to hit the gym 3/4times per week.
Tuesday I focus on chest and biceps
Wednesday legs bum abs
Thursday back triceps (add some bike work or short run)
Saturday shoulders and cardio or I take a class depends.
If I finish work on time I do a Monday class too. Classes are a mix really of weights hitt, circuit type that has the heart rate up.
What I do depends on mood and time. Today I was short on time so I focused on reps and heart rate when doing legs where as more time I focus more on weight
