The Benefits of Full-Body Workouts
I mean, I guess you're thinking it benefits the entire body, right? Doing a workout for the entire body doesn't pinpoint a specific muscle group but rather focuses on overall health and physique. It turns out that if you looking to gain muscle, full-body workouts are ideal.
Who Are Our Full-body Workouts For?
If you're looking to lose weight, full body workouts are the answer. Full-body workouts will help you retain lean muscle, which will be good for you. These workouts will also help you gain a large amount of strength.
The Workout
Deadlifts
- Squat down and grasp a barbell with your hands roughly shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your chest up, pull your shoulders back and look straight ahead as you lift the bar.
- Focus on taking the weight back onto your heels and keep the bar as close as possible to your body.
- Lift to thigh level, pause, then return under control to the start position (Men's Health, 2020)
Kettlebell Swings
- Place a kettlebell a couple of feet in front of you.
- Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and bend your knees to lean forward and grab the handle with both hands.
- With your back flat, engage your lats to pull the weight between your legs (be careful with how deep you swing), then drive your hips forward and explosively pull the kettlebell up to shoulder height with your arms straight in front of you.
- Return to the start position and repeat without pauses.(Men's Health, 2020)
Dumbbell Thrusters
- Hold two dumbbells by their handles, but so the back of the weight is resting above the back of your shoulder.
- Slightly bend your knees and squat down, keeping your legs in line with your shoulders.
- Drive through your legs and straighten them, extending your arms as you do so to raise the dumbbells above your head.
- Squat down and repeat. (Men's Health, 2020)
