Search for “full-body exercise” online and get some options.
Many will require professional devices, complex rep plans, and a lot of time.
And I don’t know what you think; however, the one thing I do not require in my daily life is a new difficult thing to determine. I’m just looking to put on some tunes that I enjoy (which you can find here great playlists for your workout for those who need them! ) and move my body and work out.
In such a situation, I employ a straightforward recipe for the ultimate exercise for all body. It’s a formula I’m sharing for you to try today!
The Ultimate Full-Body Workout Formula
There are several reasons for this Formula to be one of my top choices:
- It’s easy and straightforward to remember
- You can use any equipment you own (or don’t)
- You can exercise at home or in the fitness centre
- You can choose those moves that you enjoy the most (or ones you’d like to practice)
- It could either be long or short as you want it to be
- You can do it with either a partner or a friend or do it on your own
- It hits your upper and lower body core, plus cardio!
- It’s fast-paced and fun (gotta be fun doing it!)
Winner, winner, right?! Let’s start designing your ideal fitness routine for your entire body.
How to Design the Perfect Full-Body Workout
You can make your ideal full-body workout by using a simple method:
- 1 minute cardio
- 1 minute for upper and lower body1-minute lower body
- 1 minute cardio
- 1 minute plank/core
Cardio : The term “cardio” can mean anything from running, jumping jacks, or jumping to marching around the room to cycling or rowing, whatever you can do to get your heart rate going. (You can perform the same cardio routine twice or choose two different types.)
Upper-Body Movements: Upper-body moves can be traditional dumbbell exercises such as push presses, bicep curls, and bent-over rows. It can be just pushing-ups (on the walls, in your knees or even your toes) or dips in the triceps from an exercise chair.
Lower-Body Exercises: Lower-body moves can be bodyweight-only, weighted, lunges, squats and deadlifts and hip bridges, wall sits and so on. Anything that is challenging your lower limbs!
Plank/Core: For the core area, the basic plank (on the toes or knees) is an excellent option for a few minutes, but you can also do crunches, sit-ups and V-ups, flutter kicks, and reverse crunches. You do you, boo.
This Formula will give you five minutes of a complete body exercise that increases endurance and increases your heart rate. Repeats as more many times as you’d like.
Again, you decide the sequence of moves and how many rounds you take, so it’s entirely customizable for your needs.
