Need help developing a workout schedule

If anyone has experience with this and would like to help me that would be great. As of right now I am strength training 5 days a week. Saturdays and Sundays are resting days for me. The reason I ask for help is because I'm going to start doing cardio exercises now along with my strength training and I want to incorporate that into my schedule. But I don't know which days to do, or not do of either of the exercises. Would someone experienced with this be able to help me out? That would be cool .

Re: Need help developing a workout schedule

Maybe I should add a little more info. I have a weider resistance machine that I do my strength training on. I work out all my muscle groups in it in one day. And for cardio I do jump rope skipping, double end speed bag boxing, punching bag boxing. I want to lose weight as fast as I can and at the same time get ripped. Can anyone help me?

Re: Need help developing a workout schedule

Hopefully I can give you some useful advice. First of all, you might want to focus on 2-3 muscle groups per day (once or twice per week), really hitting them hard. Working every muscle group 5 x week is counterproductive because you aren't giving yourself time to heal, which is when real muscle growth occurs. And, if you are looking for real growth (which is what I assume when you same you want to be ripped), you aren't using enough weight because you definitely wouldn't want to work that muscle again the next day due to soreness. For example, you could do upper body (chest, arms, shoulders) on Monday and Friday, and lower body/core (legs, abs, back) on Wednesday, then alternate the following week.

Second, as for cardio, you could do it up to 5 x week to lose fat. Definitely keep a rest day or two. For best fat-burning potential, do cardio after weights.

Hope this helps!

Re: Need help developing a workout schedule

Ok thank you. Ya I was thinking about not working out every muscle group in one day but thank you for confirming that. I will try this regimen out. Thanks again.
