12 exercises that will exhaust your biceps, triceps, hamstrings, glutes, abs, shoulders, chest and get that heart pumpin’. Get ready for The Best Full Body Workout!
At my first job as a Registered Dietitian I was in charge of the nutrition programs offered at 3 private fitness facilities in Orange County, CA. Little did I know that I would meet one of my favorite people EVER, Maddy Murphy! She has been an ACE certified personal trainer for the last 7 years and is the person responsible for making me fall head over heels in love with strength training. With that said, naturally, she was the personal trainer that I wanted to work with to bring you The Best Full Body Workout.
When we first met she offered to put me on her schedule and start training me (for FREE), it was the sweetest gesture and I instantly knew she had an amazing heart! Maddy was the first person to flat out tell me that working out 3 days a week is not enough, if you want results, you need to put in the time. I started strength training with her 5 days a week and she always took the time to correct my form and genuinely teach me about why I was doing what I was doing that day. She pushed me when I needed it and was always supportive. If you are looking for a new personal trainer, I can’t recommend her enough!
The Best Full Body Workout – 12 Exercises
1. Ab Roll Outs – 3 sets of 15 reps
2. Tricep Press Downs – 3 sets of 15 reps
3. Band Punches – 3 sets of 40 reps (20 each side)
4. Burpee, Hops: Center, Side to Side, Center Again – 3 sets of 10
As you can tell by the videos below, I didn’t nail this one on my first or second try (haha). But to do this exercise correctly you start out doing a burpee, ending the burpee with a hop straight up, hop to the right, hop all the way to left and hop to the center. Once I got the hang of these boy was my heart pumping! I put both videos on here for some laughs, I hope you enjoy them.
5. Dumbbell Arnold Press – 3 sets of 15 reps
6. Kettlebell Swings – 3 sets of 20 reps
