BODY BUILDING

FREQUENCY: 3 DAYS ON, 1 DAY OFF TIME: ABOUT 45-60 MINUTES

Body building requires focused concentration and dedication to training, as well as proper eating habits. Train each muscle group

to failure before moving on to the next exercise. Do not neglect any muscle group. If needed, include an aerobic activity to increase

your caloric expenditure and help to reduce your body fat levels to achieve a defined muscular look. Rest 30-60 seconds between

each set and exercise. Focus on proper form. Tighten the muscle before you move, squeeze the muscle as you move, cramp the

muscle at the point of full contraction, and resist the movement as you lower the weight. Move slowly on each rep. Use a pace that

would allow you to stop the movement instantly at any point in the rep. Count three seconds up and three seconds down and work

to fatigue during each set.
