3-Day Basic Workout

by Average D.

The method

Each day you will work out two body parts.  Abs will also be worked out with each workout. Do not work out your abs two days back-to-back. You may change the order in which you perform these exercises, but I will outline how I do my base workout schedule.

Each exercise will be performed for 3 sets of 10 repetitions. This is a good set-up for beginners or those that have been out of the gym for a while.Try not to wait more that 1 minute between reps and no more than 2 minutes setting up and starting your next exercise. Do not allow yourself to cool down.

Day 1: Chest / Triceps / Abs

Warm-Up: Jog for 5-10 minutes on a treadmill, do 10 sit ups, and perform 3 sets of push-up for 5 repetitions (1 regular set, 1 close hand set, and 1 wide hand set).

Barbell Bench Press: 10/ 10/ 10 (3 sets of 10 repetitions)
