You will end up with disappointing results if you leave out an essential element of your weight training workout. Make sure you follow the guidelines in the article below to guarantee that you get the most out of your workout.
Before you start working out you need to make sure that all of your muscle groups are covered. In general this is a good list to target, but you can also go for small muscle groups such as shin muscles and inner and out thighs. These muscle groups will be covered in another article. First you want to make sure that you target:
glutes or buttocks
quadriceps
hamstrings
calves
chest muscles
back muscles
abs
shoulders
biceps
and triceps
If you avoid or leave out any of these muscle groups you will not reach your maximum potential. You also increase your chances of injury. Of course there were some exercises that we like to do more than others. Some like to work their arms more than their legs were others because they have the genetic predisposition for smaller arms would rather work their legs. Which is OK but we must make sure you target all muscle groups so that your body looks in proportion and you avoid injury. It is not necessary to target all of the muscle groups each and everyday. If you are starting out two times a week should be sufficient for each muscle group.

Before you do your small muscles you want to make sure you workout the large muscle groups. Making sure that the larger muscles are sufficiently targeted is very important. These muscle groups include your glutes, your pectoral muscles, and back. But if you find that you have smaller muscle groups that are in development you may want to target those specifically on any given day.
You'll need to understand which exercises target which muscle groups in order to perform the exercises in the right order. Most of us don't realize or understand the purpose of a particular exercise so we end up doing our exercises in the wrong order.
Take a second visualize your body and split it up into three zones. You have your upper you're middle and lower. You want to make sure that you complete your exercises in the following order for each zone. Your core muscles such as your abs are considered your stabilizer muscles. You want to make sure these are done last in order to help prevent injury. These core muscles will come into play when doing your upper and lower exercise routines so you don't want them to fatigue prior to completing those exercises.
For upper body you want to do the following exercises in the following order. Target your chest and back first, then you want to do your shoulders then your biceps and triceps and lastly your wrists. For your middle body you want to make sure that you target your abdominal and lower back muscles but please complete the middle body exercises after you've completed the upper body and lower body. For your lower body exercises you want to make sure you target your glutes then your thighs and lastly your calves and your shins.
If you complete your routines in this order you should come out with a well balanced and strong physique.
