Total Body Workout

A total body workout routine is a great way to stay fit, healthy, and energetic.

The goal of total body workouts is to perform more work in less time. An individual can complete a total body workout in half the time of a traditional strength training workout.

Total body workouts are usually completed with circuits, total body exercises and functional training, or a combination of all three. Your fitness level, experience and free time will determine which total-body workout is right for you.

During total body workouts, individuals typically feel more out-of-breath than muscle burn. This feeling equates to more calories burned but less muscular growth. An ideal total-body workout program will incorporate strength-training and aerobic-training days.
