The success of the workout depends not only on the correct technique of performing the exercises. We also need a competent program, where each movement helps in the development of a certain area of the body. If you want to get the most out of your classes, you will find a lot of interesting information in this article.
How to create a training program? There are different schools of thought as to what to look for and what exercises are best. But more about everything.
Features of the program
To clearly explain all the principles of a proper training program, you would have to write a whole book - there is so much useful information that a beginner athlete needs to learn (experienced athletes do not have problems with this). However, there is a standard minimum that should be considered when developing a suitable scheme.
Of course, it is much easier to ask a coach for help. Every beginner, when visiting the gym, is “equipped” with the first standard training program. Everything would be fine, but for everyone, approximately the same plan is drawn up, which does not take into account actual physical data. Only over time does a specialist establish the real state of affairs and make adjustments to the scheme.
What to do during home exercises, because there is no trainer nearby? In this case, the athlete has to independently study the information. In order to compose the program as competently as possible, be sure to take into account the following points.
Complex loads on all muscle groups
When developing a home exercise schedule, it's a good idea to start with a weekly plan. After the first few lessons, it will be clear in which direction to make changes and whether it is worth introducing something new.
For newbies
A comprehensive program for beginners should include a base, warm-up and final stretching. A four-day workout involves rest in the middle of the week (Wednesday) and the weekend (Saturday, Sunday).
The Beginner Plan includes:
- Warm up:
- rotation of joints (shoulders, elbows, hands, knees, feet);
- jumping rope – 2-3 minutes;
- burpees – 20-30 times.
- Power block.
- Final stretching (stretching as you exhale, lowering your body as you inhale).
The basis is a strength block (Monday, Thursday) and circuit training (Tuesday, Friday). Elements of the latter are performed for 20-30 seconds with a 10-second rest between circles.
Monday | Tuesday (2 laps of 20 seconds) | Thursday | Friday (2 laps of 30 seconds) | |
1. | Push-ups – 3/8-10 | Burpee | Push-ups – 3/8-10 | Push ups |
2. | Bent-over dumbbell row – 3/8-10 | Rock climber | Standing dumbbell fly – 3/8-10 | Burpee |
3. | Lifting the body (press) – 3/10 | Jump Squat | Lunges – 3/10-12 | Squat |
4. | Dumbbell row up – 3/8-10 | Push ups | Leg raises for lower abs – 3/10 | Rock climber |
5. | Plank – 30 seconds | Plank | Plank – 30 seconds | Plank |
For experienced
Professionals train 2-3 times a week. Their lesson plan includes a base and some isolation elements. Strength stretching allows you to prepare your muscles for total loads, and cardio will improve the elasticity of the ligaments.
Approximate 1.5-hour program implemented at home:
Day I (arms, shoulders, chest, back)
Dumbbell rows from a lying position – 2-3/6-8.
- Dumbbell lateral raises – 2-3/6-8.
- Overhead press – 2-3/6-8.
- Projectile thrust in an inclined position – 2-3/6-8.
- Push-ups – 2-3/15-20.
Day II (legs, hips, back)
- Weighted squat – 3/12-12.
- Lunges with dumbbells – 3/10-12.
- Deadlift with apparatus – 3/10-12.
- Calf raises with dumbbells – 2/20.
- Sumo deadlift with one apparatus – 3/10-12.
Finally, you need to do muscle stretching for 2-3 minutes to restore breathing and blood circulation.
Deciding on goals
The first step in creating a program is defining your goals. In no case should you use floating formulations, for example, “I want to lose weight” or “I want to improve my shape.” It is important to set clear goals for yourself. This is not only excellent motivation, but also an opportunity to understand what you still need to pay attention to. Within a certain amount of time, you can set any adequate goals:
- Lose weight by 5 kilograms.
- Increase strength indicators by 10%.
- Fit into your favorite jeans that barely fasten.
Decide how many times a week we will train
There should be at least one fitness workout per week - this is already better than a complete absence of sports in life. The optimal number of classes is 3. If at first it is not possible to allocate more time for quality training, we start small, gradually adding new “hours”.
Interesting fact. There is no need to overdo it with the number of classes. This is especially true for beginners. Their body is not yet ready for serious stress. With the wrong approach, the effect of overtraining can occur, which significantly slows down progress and leads to injury.
Choosing days for training
Do not neglect this point. We try to arrange the training correctly. There must be a break between them - we maintain a balance between classes and periods of rest. Ideal to train on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
But if you can only do this on Saturday and Sunday, we’ll leave it that way. Of course, this option is undesirable, but the athlete has a whole week to restore muscles after a full workout with warm-up and cool-down.
The benefits of training
Strength exercises help to lose excess weight, overcome depression, and diseases of the cardiovascular system . Regular training at home will increase self-confidence and stabilize your mood. Complex strength exercise triggers an energy transformation mechanism in the muscles, with the help of which they adapt to increasing load.
The fat layer decreases, muscle mass increases. The body copes better with physical activity at home and at work, and becomes more resilient. Bodybuilding is useful for developing the main masculine qualities: courage, willpower, constancy.
“The world has never been interested in weakness. He always stayed strong. That same inner strength that years of training with iron add to us. So the main difference between us and others is not bulging muscles, but another, incomparably high and strong spirit,” says Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Frederic Delavier, author of the book “Anatomy of Strength Exercises,” explains and illustrates the technology for performing each element of training from the point of view of human anatomy and physiology. The pictures show the colors of the muscles that bear the load, provide recommendations for implementation and warnings against muscle injuries.
For beginners, this bodybuilding encyclopedia is an indispensable tool for practicing at home . Frederic Delavier - French scientist, former weightlifting champion; anatomy and physiology of physical development are the subject of his scientific interest.
Selecting areas of the body to work on
This step helps to structure the workout and create the most effective scheme where all the necessary areas of the body will be involved. Upgrading all zones at once within one lesson is problematic and not advisable. Therefore, it is customary to divide muscles into the following groups:
- Back.
- Legs.
- Press.
- Hands.
- Breast.
- Shoulders.
We devote different amounts of time to each section. The frequency and frequency of working out each muscle group depend on the initial goals and objectives when drawing up the program.
Interesting fact. To lose weight and simply maintain health, it is enough to train each muscle group once a week. Over time, when there are more opportunities, we will increase the number of classes.
