Benefits of Full-Body Workouts

The typical forms of exercise usually focus on specific body parts per day. This is great if that is your goal and you don't mind breaking up your routine that way. However, for most of us, we are always battling a time crunch and want to get the most out of workout in the least amount of time. This is where full-body workouts come into play.

Time Saver

If you are already finding it difficult to hit the gym on a daily basis, then you will be happy to know that doing full-body workouts can cut your gym time down to 2 or 3 times per week. Since you will be working out with more intensity, you are getting in a high quality workout. You can spend the other days doing other activities like cardio workouts.

Strength Training and Cardio in One Shot

Whether you are using weights or your own body weight as resistance, spending time on every body part within one hour will get your heart pumping. The best routines are interval routines that combine sets of upper body workouts with lower body workouts. For example, shoulder press with dumbbells and combining with dumbbell squats.

Workout in Less Time

Most full-body workouts can be done in 45 minutes and working out this way shouldn't take more than an hour. If you are doing interval training, you will probably be exhausted before you even reach an hour. Going any longer isn't really necessary which is great because you aren't spending hours at a time in the gym.

Unlimited Routines

You don't have to do the same exercises every time you workout. There are tons of routines you can do to work each major body part. If you run out of ideas, check out YouTube and type in 10 minute workouts or 12 minute workouts. Even search for interval routines - you will have more than enough to start out with.

Less Equipment

Most workouts don't require anything more than dumbbells, stability ball or bench, and your own body weight. This means you don't even need to hit the gym unless you like to use various machines there. Most workouts can be done right at home in a small space.
