Simple, basic and effective are all you need for a good 3 day workout. Up to here, many people would be shaking their heads knowing that they have to hit the gym hard to get into shape. Unless you are doing a 6 day a week split train (morning and evening) workout you will not see any improvement in your body.

That is not accurate! Well it would be close to accurate if you are training to be a bodybuilder. But, for those that want to just get into decent shape and look their best a solid three day workout routine can deliver tremendous results. As long as you have theperfect workout routine in mind, you will find that your body changes to one of the strength and muscular endurance.

Your 3 day workouts should not focus on only one particular muscle group. You want everything to be equal so that means equally working out your upper, middle and lower body. And you do not need to lift heavy weights at high repetitions and intensity levels. Moderate exercise can be equally effective and deliver tremendous results.

The following is a very simple 3 day workout routine that hits the entire body and does so in a manner that will yield quick results:

A mass building cycle would last 8 months and then three months of definition exercises would be started. This is done for competition purposes. For people wanting to get in shape, competition cycles are not really needed. You do not need to impress any judges! So, mixing up definition/toning exercises along with mass building exercises is what is needed.

Also added into this 3 day workout routine are compound workouts known for building strength such as the deadlift, military press, and bench press. For the average person, exercises that seek to increase strength can certainly improve a person's quality of life. Of course, strength workouts will also assist in the increase of muscle mass and this will impact physique quite nicely.
