# Workout split

A workout split is how you divide training across the week so each muscle group gets enough work and enough rest.

Common splits include full body two or three days a week, upper and lower four days, or push, pull and legs across three to six sessions. WHO guidance for adults 18 to 64 calls for muscle-strengthening on two or more days a week. A split tracker records which groups you trained and which are longest overdue so the next session matches the plan instead of habit.

Also called: Training split, Push pull legs.
