Beginner's Weight Training Routine

This routine is for people just starting out in weight training. It is a fairly simple routine but if combined with good eating habits it will yield great results. I have left out triceps and biceps in this routine because I don't believe people just beginning need to use these exercises. The bench press and chin ups will place a great deal of stress on the triceps and biceps respectively, therefore negating the need for direct exercise for the novice lifter. I suggest using this routine for six months before progressing into the Split weight training routine. 


Day 1,3,5- Full Body Routine


Bench Press- 3 x 15
Shoulder Press- 3 x 15
Chin Ups - 3 x Failure
Back Squat- 3 x 15

Day 2,4,6- Abs

Crunches- 3x 15
Hanging Leg Raises- 3 x 15
Oblique Crunches- 3 x 15

Day 7- Rest
