Determine your goals.
Figure out your schedule.
Do you have a gym membership?
Are you working out at home
Are you experienced or a beginner?
My current fitness goals:
-Improve my hamstrings
-Stop putting muscle on my quads
-Tighten up my booty
-Increase my rear delt strength
-Increase my core strength
-Improve hip mobility
I do have time to go to the gym every day but I also have equipment at home if anything changes. This way I don't have an excuse for not getting a workout in when I wake up late or the gym closes.
My splits really do change week to week. I write out a rough copy of my lifting schedule but it tends to change throughout the week depending on muscle soreness, energy levels and last minute scheduling issues. Most of the time I don't actually choose the specific exercises until the day of my workout. When I do choose them I try to vary them from the last week.
Here is what I am planning for my splits this week and I'll add the specifics at the end of each day. If you need help planning your splits check out Bodybuilding.com
