A full-body workout is a type of resistance training that targets all major muscle groups in the body in a single session. This type of workout can be beneficial for a number of reasons.
First, it allows you to work multiple muscle groups in a short period of time, which can be more efficient than targeting each muscle group separately. Additionally, working multiple muscle groups at once can help to improve overall muscular balance and symmetry.
A full-body workout routine typically includes a combination of compound exercises, which work multiple muscle groups at once, and isolation exercises, which target specific muscle groups. Examples of compound exercises that can be included in a full-body workout include squats, deadlifts, and bench press. Examples of isolation exercises that can be included in a full-body workout include bicep curls, tricep extensions, and leg extensions.
Here is an example of a full-body workout routine:
- Warm-up (5-10 minutes of cardio, such as jogging in place or jumping jacks)
- Barbell squats (3 sets of 8-12 reps)
- Pull-ups (3 sets of 8-12 reps)
- Barbell bench press (3 sets of 8-12 reps)
- Standing military press (3 sets of 8-12 reps)
- Barbell deadlifts (3 sets of 8-12 reps)
- Standing calf raises (3 sets of 12-15 reps)
- Dumbbell hammer curls (3 sets of 12-15 reps)
- Tricep pushdowns (3 sets of 12-15 reps)
- Cool-down (5-10 minutes of stretching)
It is important to note that this is a sample workout and it is always best to consult with a professional before starting a new workout routine.
It's also important to make sure you're providing enough rest and recovery time, which means avoiding training the same muscle group on consecutive days and making sure you’re eating enough protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats in your diet to support muscle repair and growth.
Also, it is important to track your progress, note down how much weight you're lifting and how many reps you can do and try to progressively improve those numbers over time.
