Fall is soon approaching my Manor guests, which means my reasonably-sized love handles might be making a rather extravagant appearance. However my friends, I have a method to tackle even the most tempting holiday pies from my dear Aunt Marilyn. Planet Fitness, my go-to gym, and a productive workout routine that I’ve formulated has assisted me in feeling good for the long term. It’s called My Personal Planet Fitness Fall Workout Plan—yeah I know it’s a tad long, but it works! The plan basically divides my workout routines within the actual Planet Fitness gym into 7 different days. One of the major dilemmas that I deal with when working out is my lack of knowledge when deciding which machine to use—and Planet Fitness has many!

My plan breaks up different workout routines by each day, allowing different parts of my body to rest while I workout its other parts.

The 1st day: I workout only my chest and back. As a man, my chest—in opinion—is a very prominent and masculine feature of my body—as well as my back—so making sure it’s firm, tight and sculpted is always my first priority. I do this by utilizing the chest press machine, dumbbells and fly machine as a chest and back workout. I usually like to do a 100-reps on each chest and back machine to keep it consistent.

The 2nd day: Rest Day.

The 3rd day: I workout only on my legs, this allows my upper body that I worked out on the previous day to rest. I utilize the standing and sitting squat machines to do this or the seated leg extension machine. Both machines target my upper and lower leg muscles.

The 4th day: Rest Day.

The 5th day: I work out only on my biceps and triceps. This again will alleviate the stress from my legs that I previously worked out on the previous day. This consists of tricep-extensions as well as barbell pullovers. For my biceps, curls, pushups as well as pull-ups can all provide additional stress on my biceps, which in turn will make them significantly larger and stronger. Similar to my chest and back workout, I like to complete about 100-reps of curls and tricep pullovers for repetitions.

The 6th day: I focus on my core—which is my stomach. This is done by completing multiple sit ups, crunches and planking—yes, planking people. Trust me, it works.

The 7th day: And last but not least, cardio! Yes, the thing many of us dread but must at some point engage in during practically any workout routine. The last day is spent running, completing jumping-jacks and watching multiple TV shows on one of the many television sets in the Planet Fitness gym as I sway back and forth on a rather effective elliptical machine. I usually like to run or job for a solid 30 minutes.

There you go! My Personal Planet Fitness Fall Workout Plan, which I also advise being done at your nearest Planet Fitness gym, as it would contain all of the equipment that’s needed in order to complete the plan. And of course, always make sure to drink lots and lots of water in between routines. Planet Fitness on my friends! – David Plowden, David’s Manor.
