When you’re working hard on your fitness journey and you’re putting effort in with your workouts, you want those workouts to be EFFECTIVE.One of the best ways to achieve that is to structure your workouts using workout splits!I’m sharing my thoughts on how often you should be lifting (especially if one of your goals is to build muscle), examples of muscle group splits (i.e. full body, lower body, etc.), why both compound AND isolation movements matter, and more.While it’s important to understand the different muscle groups and how you can match these to your fitness goals, you don’t have to know every.single.detail either. This doesn’t have to be crazy complicated or keep you from working out in the first place - I promise!I hope this episode provides you education and insight into ideal workout splits, and how you can make this fit seamlessly into YOUR life!In this episode, we cover:Number of days/week you can work out (aka LIFT)Ideal workout splits, dependant upon how many days/week you’re liftingPossible muscle group splits + the only ‘rule’ you really should followUsing a good mix of compound & isolation exercisesExamples of full body compound movements Effective superset workoutsLinks/Resources:Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
