Getting started in the gym can be really simple, as long as you have the right tools. Your three weekly workouts will build strength where you need it and give you just enough intensity to add muscle and burn fat. Whether you're a complete beginner or a more experienced lifter looking for more structure, following this plan consistently will produce results.
Doing the same workout every day can be boring and unproductive. That's why you'll cycle between three workouts, each of which hits the entire body, but with different rep ranges and focuses each day. You'll do big lifts like goblet squats and dumbbell presses, muscle-focused accessory work, and finish each day with a "loaded carry" to burn fat and build athleticism.
The progressive overload approach in this program only works if you follow your progress. That means tracking the weights you lift and the rest periods between sets. You can do both in the Bodybuilding.com BodyFit App! Plus, you can watch instructional videos of every movement in every workout!
