Give Yourself a Hand

by Jillian Michaels

When considering how to order resistance exercise, try splitting your muscle groups by function. If you do this, it is easy to ensure that each muscle group gets time off. For example, if you focus on pushing movements (think push-ups) one day, you should do pulling movements (think dumbbell rows) the next. If you follow both by a day off, the pushing muscles are fresh from two days off before repeating the next workout cycle. This splitting approach prevents overtraining by providing your muscles the time they need to repair and develop.
