3 day split Workout

Going to the gym 6 days sometimes even 4 days per week cannot only be tough on the body, but can become a major inconvenience. The program itself calls for you to make it to the gym 3 days a week for weight lifting sessions. On off days, you will still have some light activity to further promote recovery and also calorie expenditure.
