There is no one workout that fits everyone.  In the past, I used to try certain workout programs that I had seen in magazines.  Some were too extreme, others were uninspiring, and still, others weren’t designed for the desired fitness goals.  While they may have worked to some extent had I stuck with them, they may not have helped me to reach the desired result.  In those moments, it was more about some of the principles applied to designing those workouts that I, and others, have had to take away and adjust to our own needs.  One of those principles is to design your program by working larger muscles, primary muscles, or muscle groups first working your way down to smaller, secondary muscles.  You can do this through a mix of compound exercises, isolation exercises, and single arm/leg exercises.

It is important to plan your workout to not only burn calories, but it also needs to be done in such a manner as to be most effective. Making the choice to do cardio or weight lifting in the right order means a better result and more effective use of time and energy. Weight Lifting Comes First to Be Most Effective  It is important to complete a weight lifting session before doing a cardio workout. This is because a very intense cardio workout depletes the body's glycogen stores. This does depend on the desired results for the weight lifting session as well. For women that are not seeking significant muscle mass, it may be ok to do the cardio first. However, for men who are working on building that muscle mass significantly, it is important to have sufficient glycogen to finish the workout, completing the last few reps to get the desired results from the full workout.
