Workout basics: 5 steps to your perfect workout schedule

Like every area in your life even your workout depends on some basic rules in order to be successful. If you don't care about these rules you will never get the workout effect you wish to achieve. Moreover your motivation stays low, you do not have the strength to keep busy with it and you could get easily hurt.
There are some mistakes, especially a beginner can make. And we would like to give you the right advice on it.

Rule 1: Prefer basic exercises
Every workout should contain basic exercises like deadlifts, squats, chest press, Dips or millitary press. Start with these exercises at the beginning of every workout routine. Because only than is you body fit enough for them.

Rule 2: Body-weight exercises
If you do body weight exercises, place them right. If you are able to do 20 dips start to make your muscle weak with another exercise before.

Rule 3: "more large than small"
Your workout schedule should mainly consist of exercises for the large muscle groups. It is enough to place 1 or 2 additional isolation exercises for the smaller ones.

Rule 4: "start with the large one, than go on with the smaller ones"
The large muscles like chest, back or legs are more important to train, because a lot of smaller ones are already included during their workout. For that reason it is better to start with the large muscle groups. They burn more energy.

Rule 5: Abs and back
Important support muscles for your upper body are the m. Rectus abdominis and the m. Erector spinaed. They are involved in almost every exercise. For that reason it is important to do specific exercises for those muscles at the end of each workout session. So you will not get hurt so easily.

Generally, every workout session should consist of 8 - 10 different exercises with about 3 sets each. But pay attention not to train any longer than 60 minutes.
