Body Building
Frequency:
6 days on, 1 day off (Day 6)
Time:
45-60 minutes
Body building requires focused concentration and dedication to training, as well as proper
eating habits. Work each muscle group to fatigue before moving on to the next exercise. Do
not neglect any muscle group. If needed, include an aerobic activity to increase your caloric
expenditure and help to reduce your body fat levels to achieve a defined muscular look. Rest
30-60 seconds between each set and exercise. Focus on proper form. Tighten the muscle
before you move, squeeze the muscle as you move, cramp the muscle at the point of full
contraction, and resist the movement as you lower the weight. Move slowly on each rep. Use
a pace that would allow you to stop the movement instantly at any point in the rep. Count three
seconds up and three seconds down and work to fatigue during each set.
