Is exercise more effective on continuous or alternate days?

Aerobic exercises are more effective, if done daily. The muscle building exercises are better done on alternate days. Your muscle gets stimulation on the day of exercise. Muscle gets time to develop in next two days. Some body builders prefer to do flexor muscles and extensor muscles exercises on alternate days. Thus visiting the gym daily.


Should you work out one muscle at a time or alternate to a different muscle after each set?

Unless you are an intermediate trainee, who has been training hard for at least one year, you should not be designing your own routines. Furthermore, you should not be following programs in, for example, bodybuilding magazines.Beginning lifters should not be doing many isolation (one-joint) exercises at all. Instead, concentrate on the basic compound (multi-joint) exercises such as squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins. Alternating isolation exercises is a technique that may be appropriate only for some advanced bodybuilders.


Do you have recommendations for setting a weekly workout plan?

A good weekly workout plan mixes both weight lifting and cardio-vascular exercises. On alternate days, the focus should be one or the other. However, on weight lifting days a short run or other cardio activity can be included. In addition, weight lifting activities should be alternated from large muscle group to large muscle group. At no time should an individual continually work one large muscle group only.

Why should you not do the same exercises 2 days in a row?

To answer this question it's important to know how a muscle is built. When you train a muscle (let's use biceps for this example) each time you do a curl (if it's a big enough weight for you) the muscle is actually tearing, being damaged just a little bit. Ideally to fatigue a muscle you are able to create small tears without genuine damage such as pulling the muscle. The actual bulk is added to muscles in the recovery phase. As the muscle is rebuilding (which takes approximitely 48-72 hours depending on the muscle and the extent of damage) it grows just a little. Each time you do this you are adding mass. If you exercise the muscle too soon you will not only shortchange your results and actually be counterproductive but you will also have a higher risk of causing an injury. Hope that helps..
