Best Full Body Exercises To Perform Weekly

by Yuri in Client Journeys

If you’re looking to build up more strength, burn fat, and get in the best shape of your life, a full body workout program is for you.

These types of workouts tend to be very beneficial for not only those who are new beginners but also for those who already do have some strength development and who are looking to push the barrier to take things slightly further.  They can help you get lean quickly – much more quickly than the traditional body part workouts and typically yield that much better results in the gym as well.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the top full body exercises that you should be sure that you are including in your workout program plan.

Pull-Ups

Often forgotten about, pull-ups, are one of the best forms of exercises to work the arms as well as the muscles that run along the back.  They do take some work to be able to perform correctly but once you get them down pat, you’ll find that the benefits to including them in the program are numerous.

Just do watch that you are varying your grip from time to time as this will help to challenge the muscles in new and interesting ways, allowing you to see better overall results.

Squats

Second, of all the lower body exercises to perform in your full body workouts, squats could potentially be it.  Squats are excellent for working the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and core muscles and will also send your metabolism through the roof, allowing you to get lean that much faster.

Like pull-ups you should also spend some quality time working on making sure your form is right before doing these otherwise you could risk injuring yourself down the road.

Deadlifts

Third we come to deadlifts.  While squats may be considered the most important lower body exercise to do, do not ever let yourself neglect deadlifts.

These can be just as effective for adding more strength and will help to balance out the muscles in the lower body so you see better overall results. Deadlifts can also be performed with a set of dumbbells or a barbell so you have your pick on which to use.

Rows

Rows are another great exercise that will target the back that should be in your program as well.  Rows can also be done with an overhand grip or an underhand grip so you have your choice of which you prefer to use. Just do be sure that when performing them you are paying attention to the back positioning as this is by far the most common error that is made throughout execution.

Bench Press

Finally, the bench press is going to be ideal when it comes to working out those chest muscles.  By adding it to your program you’ll also stimulate the shoulders, biceps, and triceps, therefore really getting more from your overall program plan.

Bench press can be done with barbells or dumbbells, however those who are looking for high levels of strength typically find that barbells work the best.

So keep these movements in mind next time you’re headed to the gym for a full body workout.  By including them in there you will guarantee you see the results you’re after.
