Like What You See?

Worried that your fitness routine is half-measured?  Maybe it’s time you tried a full body workout.

Full body workouts are compound workouts, where all major muscles and joints are involved. They are more effective because multi-joint workouts recruit more muscle fibers and are effective in changing the body faster than the isolated or single joint workouts. It also integrates the lower body with the upper body and make one functionally better than single joint workouts or isolated workouts.

The advantages of a full body workout is that you’ll burn more calories, build muscle and increase workout efficiency etc. It improves fitness in aspects like cardio, stability, mobility, core strength, flexibility, endurance, overall strength, speed, agility and co-ordination. They are a better ROI (return on investment) for all your efforts, time  and money you spend on fitness as compared to a workout, say, that focuses on isolated moves.

Full body workouts also result in Whole Body Integration (WBI) which means for every action and movement performed, you are using your entire body to effectively create motion. This is consistent to the fundamental design of the human body. Treating and training movements using the whole body is more effective and loading these movements will create accelerated adaptations, thus ensuring a positive transfer into life!

An ideal full body workout can consist of three to four sessions of one hour each in a week, that include squats, front squats, push-ups, dead lifts,  ViPR Ice skater (a large cylindrical-shaped tube that is used to strengthen legs, core and shoulders), rope slams, kettle bell swings, kettle bell press, barbell clean and press, TRX jump squats etc. Three sets for one minute duration will give you the best full body work out.
