Workout 201 - Exercise Glossary: Your Complete Sets of Great Workouts!

In Workout 101, we have looked at the fundamentals of strength training. In short, the basic theory is by moving (contracting) your muscle from its point of Insertion (a) to Origin (b).

Also, from the Fitness Library, you can find the 10 major muscles group, whereby we can classify them into the bigger muscles group and smaller muscles group. Under normal circumstances, we will train bigger muscle group in different training session while slotting in one or two smaller muscles group into each session so that we can complete the whole body part training within the week (see Workout 101 – training schedule).

Bigger muscles group: Quads, Pecs, Delts, Back
Smaller muscles group: Biceps, Triceps, Calves, Forearms, Abs

To add depth into your training, change the set of exercises every one month or two.
