The Best Workout Routine

What is the best workout routine? Of course it all depends on your personal goals. If you are looking to become a long distance runner the best workout routine for you will be completely different from that of someone who is looking to become a bodybuilding Mr Olympia.

Swimsuit Model Body

That said, in my years of working with hundreds of men, most want a fitness model kind of body. A body like that of most swim suit models i.e. lean and well sculpted muscle on the chest, arms and legs and six pack abs. The pictures below are good examples.

If you want this kind of a body the best workout routine is one that involves a good balance of weight training and cardio. I personally do weight training 3 times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and cardio twice a week.

Takes Under 3 Hours Per Week!

This might sound like a lot of work but it is really not. Each of the weight training sessions is under an hour and each of the cardio sessions is just 20 minutes. See?

In fact when I’m super disciplined about utilizing my time in the gym well I can be done with weight training in about 45 minutes (See this article on The Ideal Workout Length [link]). That is a total of (45 x 3) + (20 x 2) = 2hrs 55 minutes per week!

Seriously, this is all it takes to develop an incredible physique. If you are reading the muscle mags and they are telling you need to train two times a day, six days a week you need to cancel your subscription immediately!

Here is how I structure my swim suit model workout routine.

Week 1

Monday

Chest, Back (See specific exercises here[link])

Tuesday

20 minutes on the treadmill at a moderate pace. I vary the incline and intensity from session to session to avoid boredom and to stimulate my body in different ways.

Wednesday

Legs (Usually sissy squats, straight leg dead lifts and Leg Press Calve Raises).

I do sissy squats instead of regular squats to avoid getting a big butt. Years of doing heavy regular squats led to me developing a butt that stuck out like a sore thumb! But I’ve managed to reduce it considerably using a combination of high incline treadmill workouts and sissy squats.

You won’t be able to squat as much weight but who cares? You are trying to optimize for looks not strength.

Thursday

20 minutes cardio (treadmill or elliptical workout)

Friday

Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders (Again, see the list of exercises [link] for specific exercises)

You may optionally do two days of legs and one day of upper body during certain weeks to hit the legs more i.e. do the above workout then the following week train legs on Monday and Friday and upper body (chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps) on Wednesday.

Take the weekend off to rest and enjoy yourself! You’ve earned it!
