The Best Bodybuilding Workout

By Michelle Bery



Bodybuilding continues to be a popular sport that attracts enthusiasts who enjoy it as a hobby or prefer to compete among peers.  In either case, in order to be successful, it is imperative to implement and remain committed to a comprehensive bodybuilding workout that will build and maintain muscle and maximize performance.

For many an effective bodybuilding workout means a daily trip to the nearby gym.  For others, the workout happens at home.  But no matter where you choose to conduct your bodybuilding workout, there are a few general rules to keep in mind.  First and foremost, safety is the key to successful bodybuilding.  Performing exercises that do not utilize proper technique will not only hinder you from reaching your maximum potential;  it will put you at risk for serious injury.  For those who are just beginning a bodybuilding workout, therefore, it may be beneficial to begin with the help of a personal trainer who can assist you in learning the proper exercise techniques.

An effective bodybuilding workout combines a number of elements in order to achieve maximum physical fitness.  A successful workout should include adequate cardiovascular work – such as running, walking, or aerobics – to increase the heart rate and improve cardiovascular health;  committed core work – such as Pilates or yoga – that improves flexibility, strengthens abdominal and core muscles, and keeps muscles limber; and, most important to bodybuilding, weight training that utilizes a combination of weights to build and sculpt muscle.

In addition to safety, commitment is just as important to a bodybuilding workout.  While a three-day-a-week workout may be adequate for those who are not bodybuilding but still trying to adopt a healthy lifestyle, this schedule will not be enough to successfully meet bodybuilding goals.  Those who are serious about bodybuilding often spend many hours a day in the gym;  a bodybuilding workout is a serious commitment that requires quite a bit of sacrifice.  Most bodybuilders will adopt a very particular schedule when it comes to their workout routine – scheduling cardiovascular and core work and planning weight training to work certain muscle groups on one day and other muscle groups on others.

Bodybuilding is not for everyone.  But for those who are enthusiastic about participating in this sport as either a hobby or in order to compete, they will tell that a committed and comprehensive bodybuilding workout is imperative to your success.
