5 Day Split Routine for all Body Types
So if the main goal is improving Muscle mass/ toning you want to be training as much as you can with all the rest you need to allow your muscles to recover and grown. Every body shape is different so that means training specific areas to create a better balance.
For those of you PEAR SHAPED then try and work on your upper body more, particularly your shoulders and back to create a more hourglass figure so go for something like- Legs, Back and Chest, Legs and Glutes, Shoulders, Back and Chest.
For the hourglass or those of you who want to get a better, bigger bum and/ or your less curvy then try- Legs and glutes, Back and Chest, Legs, Shoulders, Legs and Glutes.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARE DOING YOUR CORE TRAINING TOO!
