Use whole body exercises. My detailed workout-structure called "The Big Five" is: 1. Seated Row, 2. Chest Press, 3. Pull down, 4. Overhead press, 5. Leg press. I use machines because you can exercise with very high intensity and don't hurt yourself. Train with very high intensity.

-Don't try to imitate Bodybuilders who train several times per week. Their bodies are genetically abnormal and their muscles can recover much faster than the ones of "normal" people.

-Exercise only once per week!

Exercising each muscle once a week is fine advice, Habit wise, it may be better to split up the sessions.

Sure, if you like commuting to the fitness studio, that's fine. I want to save as much time as possible.
