training split

[Colette]

Just wondering if this sounds like a good training split. I sometimes need approval from others

M- chest
T- abs
W- back
Th-legs&abs
F- shoulders/biceps/triceps
30-40 min. of cardio 5-6 days a week
My goal is to continue to shape and tone my muscles. Before this I was doing an upper/lower body split working each muscle twice a week, but I felt like I wasn't giving each muscle group enough attention.

Try this one sometime:

Day #1: Chest + triceps, do all your chest exercises first, by then your triceps will be a little tired, then do as much triceps as you can stand. (These movements are Pushing movements.)

Day #2: Back + biceps, do all your back exercises first, then finish off your biceps. (These movements are Pulling movements.)

Day #3: Legs, work them till they feel like jello.

Day #4: Shoulders + Trapezius

I do abs everyday.

I lift 5 days per week, but this is a 4-day split. So I repeat what I did on Monday on Friday. Then I pick up where I left off. So every week one bodypart gets two workouts. I rest on Sat/Sun.

Hi....I was wondering which days you did cardio and what type of cardio you do with this split.

Thanks,

Stacy

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jul-16-01 AT 11:03AM (Est)[/font][p]Up until a few weeks ago I was doing 3-4 days of aerobics,stationary bike,or elliptical trainer ranging from 30-45 min. Now, my main cardio is running for 20-30 min. 5 days a week (M-F). I just started running again and I'm really loving it so I'm focusing on that right now. After my body adjusts to the running I'll probably add some other crosstraining activities such as elliptical or aerobics (I love cardio kicks!)
