Define and explain the three basic strength training workout structures.

What will be an ideal response?


(1) Total-body workouts feature multiple-joint exercises that work the body's major muscle groups. They are good for beginners and are time-efficient. (2) Upper- and lower-body split workouts focus on the upper body one day and the lower body another day. Athletes use these workouts because they are more work and are sport-specific, although they are also more time-consuming. (3) Muscle-group split workouts consist of exercises for specific muscle groups. They are mostly used by bodybuilders. They are not practical for most people because they emphasize single-joint exercises.
