Why This Routine Works
Month 1
The first month of this routine was designed to help you develop basic strength within your muscles. As you are just developing and strengthening your muscles, you will want to workout for around 3 to 4 days so that you aren't overworking your muscles and allowing for the proper amount of time for recovery.
For many of the exercises within this routine you will want to mix up performing each exercise with either a light, moderate or maximum weight, as this will force you to push your body and muscles to grow but also use as much energy to lift the weight. This usage of energy will help you burn extra calories.
Month 2
As you progress into the 2nd month of training, you will increase your workout days to 6 days of training; 4 days worth of strength training and 2 days of cardio.
Unlike the previous month you will be more accustom to the weight that you are lifting, the exercise set up for each exercise day and the method that you will be training.
Thus going into the 2nd month, you will want to increase the amount of weight that you are doing, mixing up rep numbers and using lower rest timers to keep your heart rate going for an increase of calories burned.
Month 3
With Month 3 you will be stronger, have more endurance and stamina to tackle the challenges and intensity the 6 days worth of strength training mixed with cardio that you will be performing.
On these workouts days you will be able to focus on each body part thoroughly rather than mixing 3 - 4 body parts at a time for each day. The volume, intensity and weight continues to increase so that you are stimulating your muscle fibers for growth and strength.
Cardio is added into the end of each workout day to help reduce the amount of DOMs you will experience the day after heavy training as well as stimulate your metabolism for an extra burning of calories.
