One of the best ways to get in shape is to perform full body workouts. They can provide cardiovascular conditioning, muscular endurance, agility, balance and flexibility all in one workout. You can achieve this by combining exercises and varying intensity of specific exercises. You can reshape your entire body in less time and in just one workout.
Don't spend time working just one area. Perform a complete workout that focuses on your whole body and turn yourself into a fat burning, sculpted work of art. Instead of working out 5 or 6 days a week focusing on just one or two body parts, workout your entire body 2 or 3 times a week. By working out your muscles more than once a week you will achieve results much more quickly and save time.
You can get an intensive, super-efficient workout in just 30 minutes by choosing one exercise for each body part, Abs, legs and buttocks, shoulders, back and chest. You can also include one exercise for biceps and one for triceps but this is optional since you work those muscles when you workout the back and chest. That's a total of only 5 to 7 exercises. Add variety by choosing different exercises for each workout instead of repeating the same exercises. Once you've mastered the moves you can increase the weights to get even better results. The best way to maximize fat loss is to alternate between heavy weight, high intensity workouts and light weight, moderate intensity workouts.
With so many exercises to choose from it can be overwhelming. Start with choosing the exercises you are most familiar with. Vary the weights to make them easier or harder at first. Then when you've mastered a specific exercise choose one that's more challenging.
Condition your heart muscle throughout the workout by performing the exercises back to back with little or no rest in between. Then repeat the entire sequence to complete additional sets. Rest only between the entire sequence and for no more than 90 seconds. Before you know it, the workout is over and you're on your way to a more slender, fit body.
Improve your balance without adding any additional exercises. You can perform exercises such as shoulder exercises while balancing on one leg for example. Or perform a single leg squat instead of regular squat. Also don't forget to stretch those muscles at the end of your workout. You will increase your flexibility and prevent injury. Spend just five minutes to stretch each muscle group and hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds.
You can perform your workouts in your home gym or fitness facility. Fitness facilities can sometimes be inefficient because the equipment you need is not all in one place and you have to wait around for someone else. Fitness centers are just not designed for full body workouts. So investing in some equipment to set up a home gym can make your workouts much more convenient and efficient. You also avoid all those fitness center distractions.
Whether you want to lose weight, tone your muscles, or slim down your waistline, full body workouts will help your reach your goals and you will have fun doing it. A focused workout that targets all the major muscle groups can be more efficient and help you reach your goals more quickly. - 15438
