Working out can get monotonous and boring if you don't spice things up! If you have a plan written out ahead of time your work out will be more efficient and maybe you'll be a little more motivated to get out there and workout if you've already taken the time to prepare for it. Also, if you write it out for the week, you're more likely to have a balanced workout so all your muscles can be equally challenged.
Here are a few different options for writing out workouts:
1. You usually want to start with core, then work on the bigger muscles down to the smallest ones. The order would go something like this: Core, Quads, Hamstrings, It Bands (side of legs), Glutes, Chest, Back (upper and lower), Abdominals (Upper, Lower, Transverse) , Shoulders, Biceps, and Triceps.
2. You can vary your workout by doing muscles back to back, i.e. chest then back, hamstrings then quads, etc.
3. Do two different exercises for the same muscle instead of doing sets.
4. You can do a workout with only free weights and body movements.
5. A workout with only resistance bands.
6. Do only explosive exercises, i.e. throwing a medicine ball for you chest, jump squats, etc.
There are endless options for workouts, it's just taking a little extra time to spice things up and you will keep your workouts more efficient and exciting so you'll want to do it again the next day– instead of dreading it!
