Workout Exercise Order

A well-rounded weight training program includes at least one exercise for each of the major muscle groups in the body. To avoid muscle fatigue and promote muscle recovery, arrange the exercises so that successive exercises do not involve the same muscle group. However, to add variety to your workout routine you can change the order of exercises if you do not experience undue fatigue.

This principle may be applied by arranging exercises in the following order:

• Abdominal
• Thighs and hips
• Chest and biceps
• Back and posterior thighs
• Shoulders and triceps
• Calves
• Forearms and wrists
