Train one or multiple body parts a day?

So whether you are a beginner or an intermediate, this question will definitely hit your mind at some point in your workout life that you should hit one or two body part in a day while working out.

There is no need to worry about it, this is a very common question or a problem people generally face.

So moving further let's discuss whether you should hit one or two body part in a day??

Back 4 years ago when I started working out, I also face the similar problem. Then I did a lot of research on this and finally go to some conclusion.

Look, everybody's body is not adaptive to a similar kind of workout routine.

I almost changed my workout pattern or schedule tons of time when I wasn't getting results. That helped me to know the best workout pattern for me.

If you are a beginner, who is trying to put on/put off some weight, start working out with more than one body part a day because as initially, you will train multiple body parts in a day, you will activate more than one muscle group.

This will also help you in knowing that on which body part you have to work more and give it more time.

If you are a gym going guy/girl and you are training at an intermediate level, I would prefer you to do more of compound movements. Here I would like to list the importance of compound movements:-

• If you are running out of time or you workout for a short period of time, compound movements are best as they will save your time by focusing on more than one muscle.
• Helps you in burning more calories. As more than one muscle group is involved in it, it helps in burning more calories.
• Improves your core strength. Almost all of the compound movements require your core stability so they help you in strengthening up your core.
• Helps you in lifting heavy. Almost all of the compound movements require you to lift heavy.

Moreover, I would like to present the 2 best examples of compound movements. Also, I would like to tell you the muscle group on which they work.

1. THE DEADLIFT

Deadlift is considered to be the best compound exercise as it allows you to lift heavy and works on multiple muscle group. The muscle group it activates are:-

• Back- Deadlift works on your back muscles the most as it requires your back strength to pull yourself up again. It works on your lower back muscle known as the erector spinae.
• The core- the second most important muscle on which it works is your core because as you require strong core strength to control this movement. So it helps you in increasing your core stability.
• Hamstrings
• Glutes

2.THE SQUATS

Squats are the second most important compound movement after deadlift. Different muscle group on which it works:-

• Quads-Squats have the most important function of strengthening and building up your quads muscle as it mainly requires the strength of your quads to go down and stand up again.
• Core-Squats are needed to perform with the utmost technique and proper form in order to avoid any injury so, it needs your core stability for this purpose.
• Hamstrings
• Lower back
• Glutes

Summing up all the things, If you are getting results in your current workout pattern or schedule, keep going with that otherwise I would highly recommend you to not stick to a particular pattern.

Keep changing it and you will slowly and gradually get to know the best workout pattern for you when your body will start adapting to it because after all "change is the only constant".
