In six key steps. Define your goal, choose the right split, pick effective exercises, structure your sets and reps, focus on progression, and prioritise recovery.
So you’ll train smarter. Progress faster. And reach your goals more efficiently
Many lifters lack clear goals when they walk in the gym.
But your goal determines every aspect of your workout.
Are you trying to build muscle? Lift stronger? Shred fat, or improve your cardiovascular fitness?
Defining your goal lets you decide how many sets and reps you do, your choice of exercise, and even your rest periods.
Allowing you to create a training plan that is both ‘structured’ and ‘effective’.
Next, choose the right workout split.
Based on how many days a week you plan to train.
Choose a split that works for you. That fits your goals, and lifestyle.
A well-balanced workout includes both ‘compound’, and ‘isolation’ exercises.
Compound exercises—like squats, deadlifts, bench press, and pull-ups—should form the foundation of any routine.
Isolation exercises—like bicep curls, lateral raises, and leg extensions—target specific muscles, and help with weak points or muscle imbalances.
Finding the right combination of exercises to match your goals, is step three of building the perfect workout.
So tailor your sets, reps, and rest times to match your specific training goal.
The next step is ‘progression’.
If you’re lifting the same weights for months without any increase, your body stops adapting.
Aim to increase weight or reps gradually, and push yourself, while maintaining proper form.
Our trainers recommend a system called ‘double progression’.
This keeps your training challenging while avoiding plateaus.
Shortening rest periods also keeps the heart rate elevated for longer, burning more calories.
Make progression a priority, to keep your workouts effective and avoid plateaus.
The final step is recovery.
Your muscles don’t grow in the gym—they grow during recovery.
Prioritise sleep, nutrition, and rest days to prevent burnout and injury.
Recovery also includes mobility work, stretching, and managing overall stress levels.
So that’s how you build the perfect workout plan in six steps
