WORKOUT SPLIT FOR BEGINNERS
Now that you have your gym membership, some new workout swag, your music library is stocked and headphones…check. Great, you are all set to kill your 2018 gym goals, you are ready to get stronger, cut the excuses, and only have time for results. There’s just one little problem, you stand in the abys of gym equipment and feel slightly overwhelmed, maybe knocked down a few notches as your overwhelming confidence fades, and you come to realize you have absolutely no idea what you are doing. Chin up Doll, I got you. Get that overwhelming cocky confidence back up, do not retreat and confine yourself to the cardio machines and group fitness classes. That is so 2017…2018 is the year you are going to try a new and independent form of fitness. No more relying on class schedules, you have the confidence and power to do it on your own, and you are going to practice this throughout 2018 step by step. Confidently venture into the “men’s section”, occupy a bench and let them feast their eyes on their new Queen…okay that’s a little much. But KNOW you are here to stay!
Workout Splits for Beginners
Look at your program as a 4-week, month by month cycle. You need to commit to something for minimum 3 months/12 weeks. For beginners, if you have never weight trained before, then your ultimate goal is to:
- Achieve proper execution and form for all movements and exercises
- You must be able to connect to the working muscle body
- Related to the above point, mind to muscle connection is practiced by performing movements within their proper range, so nerve innervation can begin to hit the appropriate muscle fibers.
- Mobility and coordination improved
You will not progress in your fitness goals if your form and execution is crap and you have zero awareness of the muscle bodies you are trying to work. A beginner needs to establish proper base and fundamentals before moving forward with more advanced exercises and equipment. Ways to do this are to start slow with full body workouts, and then isolating upper body and lower body workout days. If this information over whelms you…I got you. In order to get your year started off on the right foot, I have created a 4-week beginner workout guide I believe is both suitable and challenging for a beginner doll.
I recommend following my Instagram account (@dollfitness_) as I will be dropping tips on how to execute the plan better. Also keep your eyes peeled for the opportunity to join a community of dolls where we will all have the chance to collaborate and discuss gym questions in a more intimate and customized manner.
