What training split should I follow? (Part 1)
People always search for the perfect workout routine, training split, exercises and read many articles online, buy fitness magazines or follow their favourite fitness models’ training method, yet nothing seems to work and is sustainable long term and they get confused and frustrated. I know the feeling very well because I used to do the same when I started my fitness journey. The information out there can be quite conflicting and overwhelming because everyone is preaching their own methods and what works for them. And that’s the key here, it works for THEM!
The best training split to follow is one that is realistic and sustainable for YOU and that is in line with your goals!
You need to take into consideration your current settings i.e your goals, fitness level, the time you can dedicate to training, your job and daily commitments…etc)
It is not necessary to train 2x a day 6x a week to get in good shape just because the pro athletes and fitness models you follow on IG do. They probably have been training for many years and have worked their fitness up to that level and also let’s not forget, that training is their main priority and many times their job is to be in top shape all year round.
Most people do not have that much time to dedicate to training. For the average person, who has a busy job and family life, it is usually not a realistic plan to follow, especially if they are a beginner or relatively new to training.
