Free Workout Schedule - 1 Week



This is my go-to program when I don't know what to do and when I still want results. My arms get  CARVED when I follow this program as well as my legs. I do these as circuits - meaning I do one exercise and move onto the next completing all exercises and then repeat again for as many times as I can or have time for. Aim for 2-4 rounds depending on your fitness level and time.

This is a 4 day split and you can use it however fits your schedule:
  • Day #1 - biceps, triceps, shoulders
  • Day #2 - legs & abs
  • Day #3 - back, chest, shoulders
  • Day #4 - plyo & abs
You can do this every day for 4 days on, 3 days off. You can do them every other day. Or you can just do it whenever you have time to do a workout! Some of the exercise do use a cable machine but you can easily swap them out for dumbbell or band exercises. Just make sure you're working the same muscles or muscle group.


I love this split because it is so flexible and can work for so many people. Now the sets and reps are really up to you:
  • If I'm pressed for time I do 10 reps each
  • When time allows I do 12-15 reps each (medium weight)
  • If you're looking for strength aim for 8-10 reps each (heavier weight)
  • Or if you want to know exactly how long it'll take you, you can use an interval timer doing 45 seconds work and 15 seconds rest. This allows you enough time to 'rest' between exercise and get your weights ready for the next one. Doing this split means each exercise is 1 minute long including the rest so if there are 9 exercises that means 1 round is 9 minutes.
How much weight should you be using? You should pick a weight that you are able to complete the amount of reps in your range that you've picked (eg. 12-15, you should be able to complete at least 12 but it's difficult and 15 is the max you can handle.) If you don't have weights you can use things around the house or invest in some resistance bands - they're pretty cheap but still effective.
