💪 Beginner's 3‑Day Gym Routine

A smart, simple way to build muscle and stay consistent

💡 Why this works

A 3-day split is ideal for beginners: it’s effective, easy to follow, and gives your muscles time to rest and grow. You'll build real strength while learning the basics.

📅 Weekly Schedule

Day Muscle Focus Example Exercises
Mon Chest, Back & Arms Push‑ups, Dumbbell Bench Press, Bent‑Over Rows, Biceps Curls
Wed Legs & Shoulders Squats, Lunges, Romanian Deadlifts, Overhead Press
Fri Core & Full‑Body Plank, Bicycle Crunches, Deadlifts, Pull‑Ups

💡 Rest or do light cardio (like walking or yoga) on the other days.

🛠️ Tips for Success

  • 🟢 Warm up before every workout – 5 minutes of jumping jacks or dynamic stretches.
  • 🔵 Progress gradually: add reps, sets, or weight each week.
  • 🟣 Focus on form to prevent injury and build better habits.
  • 🟠 Mix your rep ranges: 6–8 for compound lifts, 10–12 for accessories.
