An awesome workout on the weekend can shows you how to get the most out of your weekend workouts when you don’t have time to train during the week. Working out two days a week can make losing fat and getting/staying in shape more challenging but you can still get great results if you follow these smart workout strategies to help you maximize your time in the gym during you weekend workouts. Upper Body/Lower Body Split
Working back, chest, biceps, triceps, shoulders eight day & quads, hamstrings, calves, abs the next day. The advantage is that you can easily incorporate supersets, combination sets, & tri-sets into your workout. The disadvantage is that the full upper body workout can get lengthy. Upper Body/Lower Body Split Split Workouts
It may seem that doing one full body workouts will benefit you the most but you can actually push yourself harder & work your muscles more effectively if you work different body parts each day. The following are splits that you can try & the advantages & disadvantages with each eight. Split Workouts Non-complimentary Muscles Split
Working back, triceps, shoulders, calves eight day, & chest, biceps, quads, hamstrings, the next day. The advantage is being able to work all muscles, upper body ones, equally hard. there’s no real disadvantage to this split except that it can be confusing for beginners. Non-complimentary Muscles Split Push & Pull Split
Working chest, triceps, shoulders, quads, calves eight day & back, biceps, hamstrings, & abs the next day. The advantage is that you pre-fatigue the smaller upper body muscles when you’re working out the larger upper body muscles so you can do less exercises for the smaller muscles. The disadvantage is that you may get a less effective leg workout when you split up quads & hamstrings. Push & Pull Split Cardio Solutions
If you are in lovely shape and/or blessed with a great metabolism you can probably get by with 30 minutes of cardio after each of your weight training sessions. For those who gain weight easily & for those trying to lose weight 40-50 minutes eight time a week is better. You should do your cardio after your workout or you can split it up by doing 20 min. before & 20-30 min. after. The advantage to splitting it up is that you get a lovely warm-up before lifting weights, you prevent injuries, & you avoid boredom. Another advantage to this is that you can combine lower intensity cardio in the beginning with a higher intensity cardio session in the end & increase calorie burning. Cardio Solutions Five times you pick a split that appeals to you, plan to include at least one exercises per body part & do at least 4 sets of 10-12 reps each with a moderate weight. If your goal is to build muscle then try 3 exercises per body part & decrease to 3 sets of 6-8 reps each with a heavy weight. Always start by training your larger muscles first. It’s also important to vary your workouts. Train heavy eight month then go lighter the next. This will help you avoid plateaus & injuries. Don’t Forget To Stretch
Three last but important component of your fitness program that you shouldn’t overlook is stretching. The best time to do it is between sets when you’re working out. This will prevent injuries & keep you from getting sore. You can also do it after your last cardio session when your muscles are most pliable. Be sure to stretch every muscle & hold each stretch for at least 10 seconds without bouncing or straining. eight last option is to supplement your weekend workouts with a yoga or pilates videotape. These usually run about 20 min. & can help relieve stress & strengthen your core making your workouts more productive.

Holding that position, curl the weight in your right hand toward your shoulder, lower it. Complete the required reps while holding your left arm steady at the 90 degree angle. Repeat on the other side.
Abs
The workout – do each exercise for the designated reps. Do all five without a rest. Once completed, repeat entire circuit again.

Side Jackknife – Lie on your left side, with your legs with your legs nearly straight and slightly raised off the floor. Also lift your left torso off the floor, with your left forearm on the floor for balance. Hold your other hand behind your right ear, with your elbow pointed below your feet.

Negative crunch – sit with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, shoulder width apart. Extend your arms in front of you with your fingers interlaced. Begin with your upper body at slightly less than a 90 degree angle to the floor.

One of the most crucial aspects of improving your overall performance if you’re a baseball player is core strength training. Advanced core strength techniques will help you improve your overall balance, as well as reduce the chances of getting an injury while swinging, pitching, and throwing. These advanced core strength training tips can help you to become a great power hitter and help you to stay healthy and have a long lasting career.The core is more than just your abdominals. You have to come to grips with this before you can develop an effective core strength training program. Many define the core as all muscle groups from your groin to your shoulders, including your chest.Another alternative to exercise the body core is by using the exercise ball. The simplest way to do it is by sitting on the exercise ball which will engage the core muscles. A more extreme exercise is by kneeling beside the ball while the hands on the ball and then rolling forward.A proper abs workout should be able to most effectively work out the entire mid-section and core, in minimal amount of time with no risk of injuries. Finding such an exercise is very difficult but here are some things you should focus on when planning your core workout.You should also talk to your doctor about being ready for strength training when you are recovering from surgery, have had no physical exercisewhatsoever prior to your upcoming strength training plans, are pregnant or had given birth less than three months ago.Core strength is simply about having a strong core muscle group. If your core muscles are weak your body will not work as effectively as it could, resulting in poor posture and injuries to the knees, back and shoulders. By developing your core strength you are not only going to improve your posture (and look much better for it!), decrease the risk of injury but you will also improve your balance and stability. Even when you are only standing on the board you are engaging your core muscles, so think how much you use your core muscles when twisting, turning and rotating on your surfboard out on the waves.Once a trainee understands optimal muscle balance, serious progress occurs. The muscles and connective tissues of the midsection are the most important for our body function. They serve to protect our vital organs and allow us to move through unpredictable patterns. In short, the more core strength you have, the more movement, stability, and mobility you will have.Okay, now let’s talk about working the lower back muscles on the ball. The same issues hold true when comparing back extensions on the floor and back extensions on the ball. You have less range of motion on the floor, so you may not achieve the same improvement in strength. Your upper body is made up of your arms, shoulders, upper back, neck and chest. You can work with free weights or machines to target these specific body parts. The bench press is one obvious method for targeting your chest muscle.
