Total Body Workout that you can get anywhere.

A total body workout can be done anywhere at anytime. Hopefully we have enough in fitness culture, to understand that a gym membership is not required to have a fit body is evolved. It is basically just a preference.

In case you're one of the gym rats who believe that unless you are pumping iron at the gym, you're not really work out, consider this: you are wrong. Every muscle of the body can be worked out with bodyweight or very simple equipment. In terms of real benefits, functional training is leagues ahead of traditional (dare I say outdated?) training.

Pushups

Now, this total body workout below, at first sight, it looks easy, right? I mean, with only seven basic exercises, how hard can it be? Well, as hard as you want it to be.

People forget to listen to their intuition as to work out. If you shut up and listen, long enough your body you see exactly what you need to do is to take it to the next level. Perhaps doing more reps, or go faster, or slow down and squeeze harder.

Just listen, obey, and push. If you are pushing hard and all your energy pouring into the workout, you will incredibly heights progress.

If you are looking for a total body workout, chances are that you do it three days a week. To the body challenged, you can still use this workout, but the switch up in the following ways:

Day 1: 3 rounds of each 20 reps with no rest between rounds and 1 min 15 seconds rest between workouts.

Day 2: Rest or Cardio

Day 3: flying, as fast as you can by 6 rounds of 10 repetitions each, no rest.

Day 4: rest or Cardio

Day 5: 4 rounds of 4-8 reps each, each workout as hard as possible. Wear a weighted backpack, work the negative, and squeeze with everything you have.

Day 6 and 7: Rest or Cardio

Total Body Workout Exercises

• Pushups (according to your level-either on your knees, feet elevated, head stand, weighed, etc.)

• Jumping squats (high jump and go down low)

• Bench dips (according to your level-both legs bent and feet close, extended, or raised on another surface)

• Pull-ups (according to your level-assisted, regular, kips, an armed, or weighted)

• Bulgarian Split Squats

• Ball pass Crunches (crunch upper and lower abs while passing a stability ball between your hand and feet)

• Chin ups (biceps focused-squeeze)

• Box jumps (altitude and speed according to your ability)

That's it. Do this plan consistently for three or four weeks and you see great improvement in body composition of your own. True power will be acquired-no air inflated muscles, here!

Stay strong. Suitable for life. You can do this!
