Benefits of doing full body workouts

You burn way more calories in less time

In every area of our lives we should thrive towards time-efficiency to get the best out of every moment.

If you are always pressed for time during the week then you should do these short intense body workouts.

Reason being, you will burn a ton of calories in one given session as opposed to just doing arm day or leg day.

For these compound exercises you’ll be working major muscle groups all over your body, which will require more energy and coordinated movements, therefore giving you better results in the limited time you have to exercise.

You will build a more lean sexy body

As mentioned earlier, you will be targeting every muscles in your body, therefore, they will become toned and sexy.

So whether you want to get sexy abs, slim lean thighs or a perky round butt, a total body workout routine can help you achieve that.

Your strength increases

Because you’ll be working your muscles so intensely in these sessions, they will gain more strength over time.

Especially for your lower body. The stronger your lower body becomes then it becomes more easier for you to lift weights.

But don’t rush into lifting weights as yet , start with body weight exercises like the one listed above.

Then as you feel like challenging yourself some more you can incorporate dumbbells and other equipment.

For now, just keep it simple. 🙂

Your flexibility will increase

That’s the power of a full body workout routine.

When you train your whole body as one integrated unit, you will stimulate the same muscles in one workout that might take 3 other isolated exercises to do.

That’s basically killing three birds with one stone.

Because of this, you can easily integrate a total body workout training around your busy schedule and still focus on other activities like swimming or yoga, without neglecting your strength training.

Remember the strength training is critical so you have to pay attention to it.

It requires a lower time commitment

When you do a full body workout program it requires less time to complete as opposed to other options.

If you’re someone who has to do something every night of the week or if you’re finding it hard to commit to the gym, then you should consider full body workout program as your main routine.

The good thing is that you can do these workouts 2 to 3 times a week and still maximize your calorie burn.

Increased muscular recovery rate

One of the biggest reasons why people do not see progress in their workout program is because they aren’t recovering from session to session.

When you do full body workouts it requires you to rest every other day.

Remember that your muscles will need time to recover and improve.

Not everyone can handle back to back workouts, so for those persons, doing full body workout is perfect.

It’s perfect for weight loss

If you’re looking to lose weight then this is a great option.

You will be maximizing your calorie burn which will also still occur even after you finish your routine, and while you’re sleeping.

Doing a total body workout is ideal for weight loss because you will be working every muscle group at least 2-3 times a week and your body will have time for proper recovery.

You will be less bored

You won’t have to repeat the same old traditional workouts over and over again.
