The Gist Of It...

You should also choose one that will improve your aerobic conditioning. By covering all your bases you'll get in better shape than ever before.

Here're the workout exercises to construct the kind of routine you want, the level of conditioning you want, and even a printable plan for your weekly updates to stay track. It doesn't get any easier than this! Now all you have to do is the sweating...


Best Weight Lifting Program For Beginners

A well designed weight lifting program is vital to making progress. This basic weight lifting program for beginners will get you started on the right foot.

I like this because I don't have to think about it too hard, and I have this almost indecent love of moving large chunks of metal around :-). Lifts like the squat, press, and deadlift leave no room for weakness in your body!


A Beginning Fitness Program

A fitness training program combines strength training and cardio work. Strength isn't much good if you're too tired to use it - this program gives you the endurance.

It's a combo of the basic weight lifting program and aerobic exercise. You won't get as tired playing your sports, and you'll be able to use the strength you build more effectively.


Bodybuilding Routines That Work - Arnold's Choice for Beginners

The idea with these workouts is simple - get BIG AND STRONG! Increasing muscle size and weight is great for tons of sports.

This program is a basic bodybuilding program that, well, builds you body. If you want bigger muscles this is your ticket, but be warned - it ain't for the faint of heart.


20 Rep Squats

The ultimate in body enlarging and strengthening! A routine that will strain your legs and make your entire body bigger.

This 6-9 week program is intense and should not be used often. However, it will really give a boost, making your legs and entire body bigger - & with more endurance.


Workout exercises to keep you fit!

HIIT Training

You want endurance? Check this out! High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a great new twist on aerobics that doesn't mean spending hours on a treadmill - just some creative and intense workout exercises.

Basically it's a short, brutal workout. When I've done them they are really brutal. Like, hacking-up-your-lungs-and-collapsing-in-a-sweaty-heap-brutal.

But you get your running for the day done in just 15 minutes!


Strength Training Logs

Strength training logs are important for making continual progress in your training. They keep your efforts going in the right direction, even though they can be a pain in the rear.

These free logs can be easily downloaded for your own use. It's simple, but just keeping them will show you how well (or not) your strength training is going.


The 300 Workout Routine

If you want to become a Spartan, this is the way. The 300 movie workout exercises and routine was used to transform the actors into towering bastions of muscle. Download the pdf and take it to the gym with you.


Body By Science Review and Big 5 Workout PDFs

The book Body By Science presents a new take on high intensity weight training. Check it out, and download PDFs of the workouts that you can try yourself.


How I Do Evolutionary Fitness

Here's another approach to workout exercises called Evolutionary Fitness. The basic idea is that you workout in a similar way to how our paleolithic ancestors exercised - and not in the overly regimented way that most people do these days.


A Beginner's Pull Up Workout PDF and Tips

Even if all you have is a pull up bar, then you're set! Check out this beginners pull up workout, with tips on how to get the most out of your workouts.

Why Strength Training Running Ruins Most Workouts

"About 2 weeks ago I read all the ab strengthening stuff on your site because I decided I wanted to be strong, instead of having a lot of belly fat. So I started eating healthier, running, exercising, you name it - everything your site said to do to help. Now I am noticing a real difference! Thank you for making this. :D xD"

[This calorie calculator is] the most useful tool on the web that I can find… Also, I compared the calories calculated by your calculator to the calories calculated by the treadmill at my gym, and they're within a couple calories of each other, so yours is as accurate as we're going to get. REALLY AWESOME TOOL. I love it and depend on it. Thank you sooooo much for making this available."
~ Galit Sharon Marcus

Thank you very much, I was too lean before 2 years (55 Kgs), after the gym now I'm 72kgs, all the muscles have developed... when someone hand shakes with me it can be squeezed easily, they're making fun of me!
