HOW TO STRUCTURE A WORKOUT 🏋🏼♀️💪🏻
-
structuring a workout correctly is soooo important for the gains and to help your fitness journey 💗 here’s how i recommend you structure your workout :)
COMPOUND LIFTS - alwayssss start with your compound lifts at the start of your workout! compound lifts are the ‘big’ lifts, they are normally the exercises that use more than one muscle group. these are the lifts you wanna expend most of your energy on and therefore should be at the start of your workout.
examples of compound lifts could be - bench press, barbel squat, barbel bent over row, deadlifts!
i’d recommend adding 1-3 compound lifts to your workouts :)
ISOLATION LIFTS - isolation lifts are the lifts that target the smaller muscles and isolate specific muscle groups. it’s super important to incorporate isolation exercises to maximise the growth of the muscles and get the most out of your workouts. isolation exercises will also help your compound lifts and target muscles that your compound lifts maybe didn’t target.
examples of isolation exercises could be - bulgarian split squats, bicep curls, dumbbell bent over row, lateral raises, single leg rdls!
i’d recommend adding 3-4 isolation exercises to your workouts!
and there we go! it’s super important that your workouts are compromised of compound and isolation exercises, this will ensure the most amount of muscle is being built and you can get the best workouts!
