Order of Exercises
Research and experience has shown that for best results in the gym, there is a particular order of exercises that you should follow. This is just a guide - there is some flexibility in this list. The most important thing is to leave the abdominal exercises for near the end of a session, as you need those muscles to be fresh to help stabilize your body while working the other muscle groups. Pre-fatigue abdominals will make those exercises less effective and increase your risk of injury.
Exercise Order
- Hips and Lower Back
- Legs (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves)
- Torso (shoulders, chest, back)
