How to Design an Effective Workout Plan: Ultimate Guide for Beginners | Joanna Soh

Having an effective workout programme is extremely important towards achieving your fitness goals. You can’t just have a goal and expect to achieve it, if you don’t have a clear and detailed plan. Without it, you’re probably wasting your time and effort.

There isn’t a “one plan fits all” solution. That’s because we are all different. Creating an exercise programme varies based on your age, goal, fitness level, lifestyle and more. Even with tons of workout videos out there, you still need to have the knowledge of knowing why you’re doing this workout, rather than just blindly following it..

So what I’ll be sharing with you today are the foundations to start a simple yet effective workout programme. It might sound daunting, but once you know the basics and build from there, it isn’t difficult, in fact it’s a lot of fun. I’m going to try to keep it really simple and break it down into 5 steps. Watch this video to learn more!

Step 1 – Consistency (How often and when should I workout?)
Step 2 – Variety (What workouts should I do?)
Step 3 – Volume (How many sets, reps and rest time?)
Step 4 – Progression (How do I keep progressing and avoid plateau?)
Step 5 – Track (Why should I track my workouts?)

      You gotta move pass the first stage of planning and start putting your plans into ACTION! one step at a time, take one day at a time. You’re plan will never be perfect, hence by taking action, that’s when you’ll know what works and what changes to make or adapt. 🙃
