Back at the gym, finally....

Summers are too busy to get to the gym, but the kids started school last week, so as soon as I dropped them off on the first day, I went straight to the gym.

I've always just worked out 2 days a week, because that was all that my schedule would allow. Now, all 3 kids are old enough to be in school all day so I have lots of time for working out and doing anything else I want.

When I worked out twice a week, I did one upper body day, and one lower body day. Now that I can do 3, 4, or maybe even 5 days a week, how should I divide up the workout?

Should I do 2 upper body days, and two lower days, and possibly another day for just cardio?

Try a few different splits. Change is good to keep the body guessing.
You could do a push day-chest, bis and shoulders, a pull day-back, tris and traps, and then a leg day. That would give you a decent 3 day split. If you want to work 5 days, you could do strictly abs and cardio on your off days.

That's just one suggestion that would be easy to incorporate into what you've done in the past.

I go five days a week, so I do chest on mon, back on tuesday, arms on wed, shoulders on thurs, and legs on friday.

Mine is almost the same! M-back, T-chest, W-legs, Th-arms, Fr-shoulders/traps. Where do you work in your abs? I am also back to doing cardio 4 days a week-:mad:
