The Gym Programme Decoder

Choosing a gym programme should not be harder than following one.

Full-body workouts, upper-lower splits, push-pull-legs routines and traditional bodybuilding programmes all promise a way to organise your training. But which one actually suits your goals, your available time and your level of experience?

The Gym Programme Decoder cuts through the confusing terminology and conflicting fitness advice to explain how resistance-training programmes really work.

Written in clear, practical language, Gigi Romano explores the strengths and limitations of different workout splits, how exercises fit together across a training week and why training frequency, volume, effort and recovery matter more than fashionable programme names.

Discover how to choose between two, three, four or more weekly gym sessions, combine machines and free weights sensibly, recognise when a programme needs adjusting and deal with missed workouts without losing direction. You will also learn how to assess online routines, fitness influencers and personal trainers without becoming overwhelmed by competing recommendations.

Rather than promoting one supposedly perfect training system, this book helps you understand the choices available and build the confidence to select a routine that fits your life.

Whether you are beginning your fitness journey, returning to the gym or reconsidering an existing routine, The Gym Programme Decoder offers a straightforward guide to making better training decisions.

Because the most effective programme is one you can actually follow.
