Introducing Bugs Weekly Workout Routine

It’s Friday folks! The weekend starts today. Well… for most it should, if not then enjoy the time until it comes. By now, I hope most of you have enjoyed the posts and topics I have covered so far on stayfitbug.com. That will not stop! But today it is time to introduce workout routines, those of which I have personally experienced. This is to be known as:
BUGS WEEKLY WORKOUT ROUTINES
Every week I will post a workout schedule, some cardio based, some weights based or a variation of both, and the results that you can aim to achieve from doing them. By outlaying the results you can expect to achieve, it will be easy to identify if the post will be related to you or not. They will be based on what I’ve learned from being an athlete and from since being into fitness, and how effective I found them to be.
Today’s workout routine: Beginner weight training (building for muscle mass)
Ideal for: Beginners and those with busy schedules
I find that it is always best to try and start your workout week on a Monday. This allows you to fully utilize the weekdays and keep your weekends for rest days. Remember this (Balance)
Make sure you perform 1 -- 2 sets of Warm-up exercises. Stretch before every first set.
