There is continuing debate on which routine is best, some say that a full body routine is best, some say it’s a split routine, others say upper/lower split.I am an advocate of the full body routine with treadmill because it allows you to target the same muscle group two or three times per week, whereas the other workout types you would be lucky if you could fit in the same muscle group twice in one week.
By working the same muscle group 2-3 times per weeks allows for optimal strength and size gains use for this best treadmill under $1000.For the purpose of this document I am of course explaining the benefits of a full body workout in comparison to other workout routines.
Below are the basic rules you should follow if you wish to perform a full body workout effectively.1.
Workout 2-3 Times per Week with treadmill There are several benefits to a full body workout, the first is training frequency, which is recommended at 2-3 times per week, great for those short of time.
Because a full body workout is so intense and demanding on the body you should train 2 to 3 times per week maximum, any more than this and it could result in overtraining.You must also make sure you have at least 24-48 hours rest between full body workouts, for example if you worked out on Monday you should not do another workout until Wednesday, the days in between your full body workouts can be used for light cardio work.A full body workout is tough, I have been doing it for over 3 months and have only just started training 3 times per week, it’s taken me almost 3 months to increase my metabolism & energy levels to train 3 times a week, up until this point I was training twice per week every Monday and Thursday, but now I train every Monday, Wednesday & Friday.2.
Diet & RecoveryWhen I first read about full body workouts I didn’t realise how demanding they would be, before full body workouts I used to train with upper/lower split workouts 4 times per week, before this I did a split body workout routine 3 days per week.Then I moved onto full body workouts training only 2 times a week, I must admit full body workouts takes a lot more out of me compared to all of the other workouts I have ever done.To combat this I had to increase my caloric intake by 150-200 calories per day and also made sure I was getting enough rest (8-9 hours sleep every night).
