The idea of working different muscles in each workout is that you allow a full week for each muscle group to recover, during which time you are working other muscle groups

This is known as a split-routine and as an example here is my split

Day 1 - Legs and Biceps
Day 2 - Back and Shoulders
Day 3 - Chest and triceps

Notice that i work the biggest muscle groups first, the smaller ones second.

A full body workout is also sometimes known as a HST workout. Both options are effective but i find the split routine allows you to push harder on individual muscles so a full body workout may be a good idea as your starting off and still learning your abilities.

Can you give us details of wha you do in your workout?
