Full Body Compound Exercise Workout 1

Full Body Compound Exercise Workout

So what is a compound exercise?  It’s an exercise that works multiple muscle groups at the same time.  Compound exercises are perfect for building strength.  Normally my workouts consist of both compound and isolation exercises but I’m strapped for time at the moment so I’ve got this new workout that consists of compound exercises only.  For me it’s tough and challenging but it’s building strength and due to the intensity of the exercises I’m only doing this 3 times a week so able to rest more or spend more time on cardio.

My Spring 15 Minute Full Body Workout

My Spring 15 Minute Full Body Workout

I’ve lost a bit of motivation lately, hit a wall and not been as motivated to push myself.  I’m still enjoying my free weight sessions but want to get the heart pumping a little bit more.  So for the last month I have added a new full body workout to my fitness routine.

So firstly, I’ve been hitting the Cross-Trainer.  Ok so this is not part of the Full Body Workout I’m posting but for me 15 minutes interval training on the cross trainer is just the ticket to get the heart pumping.  Read my post 5 Cross Trainer Workouts To Try if you would like to have a go at HIIT style intervals on the Cross Trainer.

Then I’m then doing the following 15 Minute Full body Workout.  3 rounds of 5 different exercises.  All exercises in each round are performed back to back with a rest after each round; I generally rest for 30 to 60 seconds but it is entirely up to you.  The goal is to preform 3 rounds of this workout within 15 minutes.  Don’t worry if you struggle to do this but the fitter you get the easier it will become to complete all 3 rounds.  It’s quality over quantity!  Please make sure you warm up properly before the workout and try and find time for a 5 minute cool down and stretch after.
