Greetings everyone, long time lurker, but never posted anything until TODAY! And you just had to know. Anyway, so lately i've been putting some more exercises in my routine (because i realised i wasn't really working my shoulders). I usually do it at home late at night, like 22 or 23 because it takes quite some time and i find that in the morning i really feel without energy. But after putting some new exercises and the workout taking like an hour, i find that i don't really have the motivation or energy to do it anymore, i have been postponing it for 5 days or so now, when usually i would have done it 4-5 times a week. As such, i was wondering if i could get some advice about how to change my workout, though i think working out in the morning and at night would be better than splitting the exercises in two days. So my routine idea that splits the exercises would be like this: 1. in the morning: - the plank for as long as i can hold it (not sure if i should do it several times or not - need some advice here) - seated bent over rear lateral dumbbell raise - shoulder presses - lateral raises (I usually only did lateral raises and adding those to my routine kinda made it too hard i think.) 2. in the night: - curls - an exercise for triceps but i forgot the name - squats - reverse crunches, but lifting my knees above my head - lateral leg lifts I usually only did these with the lateral raise from before and it took me around 40 mins. Did it for around 3 months pretty constantly. But after adding the point 1 exercises i didn't really feel like having the motivation to do it or the energy. Also, i didn't list how many i am doing because i usually do it until i can't anymore with small breaks and it changes from time to time. Now it isn't really what it was a month or two ago and it'll probably increase again if i keep at it, so i didn't really see a reason to list the sets and reps. So yeah was wondering if it's a good idea or not to split it like this. I think i could do it at least 4 times a week probably. i could also just split it in different days, but then it would kinda be like working out 3 days out of the whole week, since it would take 6 days for the routine to be split in two.
