Lost weight and have loose skin on my arms — how do I structure a 6-day split (3 upper/3 lower)?
Hi everyone. I'm a woman, 5'2" (1.58m), 154 lbs (70kg), currently in a weight loss journey. I've lost a good amount through diet changes, but from carrying more weight before, I now have loose/sagging skin, especially on my arms. I'm looking for exercises to tone and improve overall aesthetics as I keep losing.
I go to the gym but don't have a fixed routine yet. My plan is to split the week into 3 upper body days and 3 lower body days, something like:
D1: glutes and calves
D2: back and biceps
D3: quads and hamstrings
D4: chest and triceps
D5: repeat D1
D6: repeat D2 (or vary)
How would you improve this split? I feel like I'm missing something (shoulders? core?). Should I repeat the same split twice a week, or vary the exercises between repeats?
Also: does exercise order matter (compounds before isolation) or does it just matter that the sets are effective?
Thanks in advance for any advice, and especially for anything you wish someone had told you when you started.
