My Full Body Workout #3

I hurt my back about over a couple of months ago; it was my own silly fault and I’m still feeling the after affects but the discomfort has now moved to my left hip. Sustaining an injury whilst training can take a long time to sort, weeks even months; it’s been a painful lesson for me and has knocked my confidence and made me re-think my fitness goals. So until sorted, I’ve cut back on the Rack Pulls and Back Squats and instead am using the Leg Press more to work Quads and Hamstrings. Oh and taken warm-ups, cool downs and stretching a little more seriously.

With any workout remember to warmup and cool down properly; this will help speed recovery and reduce risk of injury. Click To Tweet

So here’s my latest full body workout, if you want more rep’s to tone just decrease the weight. Also maybe superset where possible, this will get the heart pumping and make your workout more intense! In this full body workout I use Opposing Muscle Group Supersets (Put together 1 and 2, 3 and 4).

I’ve added links if you are unsure of some of the exercises.

Leg Press

Lat Pulldown (Wide Grip Pull Down Exercise)

Seated Leg Curl (Hamstrings and Glutes)

Flat DB Bench Press

The Dead Bug exercise is a great core exercise and makes a change from crunches or Leg Drops.

My Full Body Workout #2

This is my second of 2 full body workouts. This workout and My Full Body Workout #1 have been put together on the basis that although I might be short on time I can still get in a decent workout.

No supersets involved, mid-range reps for me have allowed to push up the weights up for some of the exercises. With warm-up and taking my time, this work out takes me roughly 40 mins. I’ve been aiming to do this in rotation with workout #1 twice a week. so far that’s worked. On the days I’m not at the Gym I try and get a run in or a HIIT session.
