How to Plan Your Training Program to Achieve Your Goals?
It’s all about your genetics, goals, and calendar. You absolutely need to define your training goal to plan a program that gets you there. Here’s an example using my own planning (replace it with yours!):
- Strengths: I have good genetics in shoulders, traps, back, abs, and legs.
- Targeted Training: Since my triceps are naturally well-developed, I train them once a week, and focus on core exercises only when needed.
- Goal: I want to be as fit and strong as possible, but I’m busy.
- Solution: The bro-split workout routine below requires only 4-5 hours a week, which fits my schedule and goals perfectly.
Your Personalized Journey: While my routine works for me, remember that the best program is the one that aligns with your unique goals, genetics, and schedule. Use the principles discussed as a foundation to create your personalized training plan for optimal results.

Cardio Integration:
A well-rounded fitness program incorporates cardio for improved cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Here are some effective strategies:
- Treadmill: This convenient option is ideal for beginners.Consider interval training routines for a time-efficient and effective workout.
- Cardio Boxing (Advanced): While requiring proper punching technique, cardio boxing offers an excellent high-intensity cardio option. A punching bag is a versatile tool for this activity and stress relief. However, avoid doing cardio boxing immediately after shoulder or arm exercises, as muscle fatigue can hinder proper form and increase injury risk. Read more about cardio boxing here …
Cardio Timing:
It’s generally recommended to perform cardio on separate days from weight training or during distinct workout times on the same day. Here are two common approaches to cardio timing:
- Post-Weight Training: This can be beneficial as glycogen stores may be depleted, potentially promoting fat burning.
- Morning Cardio: Cardio on an empty stomach (fasted cardio) is another strategy, potentially maximizing fat utilization.
Key Takeaway: The ideal cardio timing depends on your individual preferences and fitness goals. Experiment with different approaches to find what works best for you.
Here is an example of a great Treadmill workout:
TREADMILL HILL workout, 6 or 7% incline: |
▪ 10 minutes easy walking and jogging warm up ▪ 05 minutes HILLS ▪ 01 minute recovery – easy pace walking ▪ 05 minutes HILLS ▪ 05 minutes first cool down – medium intensity walking or jogging ▪ 05 minutes last cool down – normal walking |
__OR… REGULAR TREADMILL workout: |
▪ 10 minutes easy walking and jogging warm up ▪ 15 : 30 minutes running, according to your condition/level ▪ 05 minutes cool down – normal walking |
__OR… 30 minutes CARDIO BOXING: Don’t go hard like crazy, just pace yourself through the rounds. Take 30 seconds to 1 minute of rest between rounds to recover and maintain proper form. |
