This is the Best Workout Routine For Men & Women

The best workouts for men and women.

While being buff may seem like the best body type, women find a toned and lean body more attractive. Focusing on trimming fat is the best way to go because when you trim fat the muscles are much more noticeable. While building muscles is one of the most important things for men, trimming down will yield muscle growth results much more quickly.

Workouts for men and for women are as different as night and day

Many women do not lift based on the myth that they will get big and bulky. The way to get big and bulky would mean that you would have to eat a calorie surplus and completely break down muscle fibers. So, women out there don’t need to worry about getting big and bulky unless they are eating at a calorie surplus.

The way to get lean and toned

The best way to get a lean and toned body is to do workouts that activate the entire body. Try focusing on body-weight exercises too.

Train for strength not for size

When you train for strength you perform exercises with good form, meaning that you contract your muscles to the fullest. A well toned muscle is one that looks slightly flexed all the time. The best schedule to have when training for strength is working out 2 days on with one day off then 2 days on. The sets should be anywhere from 3 to 5 and the repetitions should be between 3 and 5.

Day 1 – Abdominals, back and chest

Day 2-Abdominals, arms and shoulders

Day 3- Rest

Day 4- Abdominals, back, and chest

Day 5- Abdominals, arms and shoulders

The reason behind the reps and sets being low is because when building strength the focus is about the proper form; if you were to do lots of reps and sets then that is just going make you build a lot of bulky muscle.
