A Workout for a Perfect Summer Body

Do you want a chiseled body for the summer? Stay with me, and I will guide you through achieving the physique you want!

While both are equally important from a health standpoint, to have an attractive physique, incorporating anaerobic exercises will help you achieve your summer body because anaerobic exercises help you build muscle size as well as muscle size and muscular endurance. Anaerobic exercises typically involve high-intensity, short-duration movements that require the body to work at high levels of effort. These exercises are typically performed for a shorter duration and with medium to higher resistance or weight than aerobic exercises. Examples of anaerobic exercises include weightlifting, sprinting, plyometrics, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

 

In addition to building muscle mass and strength, incorporating anaerobic exercises into your workout routine can also help boost your metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories throughout the day. This can be especially beneficial when trying to achieve a toned and chiseled summer body.

 

However, it's important to note that incorporating anaerobic exercises alone may not be enough to achieve a perfect summer body. A well-rounded workout routine should also include cardiovascular exercises and a healthy diet to support overall health and fitness goals.

 

A sample workout routine that incorporates both anaerobic and aerobic exercises could look like this:

 

Day 1:

Warm-up: 5-10 minutes of light cardio

Anaerobic exercise: 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps of squats, lunges, bench presses, and rows

 

Cardiovascular exercise: 20-30 minutes of low-intensity steady-state cardio (e.g. running, cycling, swimming)

 

Day 2:

Warm-up: 5-10 minutes of light cardio

Anaerobic exercise: 3-4 sets of 15-20 reps of lat pulldown (combined with bicep curls),  shoulder presses (combined with tricep extensions), and lateral raises (combined with pec flies)

 

Cardiovascular exercise: 20-30 minutes of HIIT (e.g., sprints, burpees, Abmat sit ups, leg raises)

 

 

Day 3:

Rest day

 

Day 4:

Warm-up: 5-10 minutes of light cardio

Anaerobic exercise: 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps of deadlifts, pull-ups, slow push-ups, front squats, leg extensions, and leg curls

 

Cardiovascular exercise: 20-30 minutes of steady-state cardio

 

Day 5:

Warm-up: 5-10 minutes of light cardio

Anaerobic exercise: 3 sets of 15-20 reps of pec flies, delt flies, lateral raises, dumbbell pullovers, and shrugs

 

Cardiovascular exercise: 20-30 minutes of full body HIIT (Kettlebell Swing, Plate Clean & Press, Russian Twist, Lateral Lunges)

Day 7:

Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new workout routine, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions.

Make sure to focus on other aspects like nutrition, hydration, sleep, and stress management to achieve your fitness goal.
