Diet and Exercise Schedule
Diet and exercise schedule
Many health experts agree that it’s easier to stick with an exercise routine if you make it a habit by exercising at the same time each day. Whether you choose to exercise first thing in the morning, after work or right before bed, exercising at the same time each day helps you establish a consistent workout routine.
It’s also important to consider how you spend your time and what kind of exercise works best with your schedule. If you know your mornings are a rush, for example, you might not be able to commit to working out at that time of the day. In that case, try adding in small bursts of exercise throughout the day — walking around the mall during your lunch break or going for a quick bike ride after dinner.
In order to maximize your workout, it’s also important to plan for pre- and post-workout nutrition. For instance, you should consume carbohydrates to replace your lost glycogen stores, and protein has been shown to help with muscle recovery and growth.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), adults should get 30 minutes of moderate cardio five days a week and two full-body strength-training workouts per week. To meet these recommendations, here’s a sample weekly workout schedule designed by Jacklyn Romano, CPT, and Sharon Gam, Ph.D, CSCS, an exercise physiologist and wellness coach in Lake Mary, Florida. The first day of each week focuses on your chest and triceps, the second day you target your legs and shoulders, and the third day you work on your back and biceps.Kost och träningsschema
