Head-to-toe routines for any fitness level!
Whether you want to lose weight or just maintain your general fitness, our 7 day Total Body Workout Challenge can help! Every routine includes a modification for beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels, making it perfect for any fitness level. And while the workout is only one week long, you can repeat it as many times as you’d like. Just remember to increase the challenge as you get more fit because if it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.
Benefits of Total Body Training
Full body exercise offers many different benefits. One of our favorite things about it is that it’s great for busy schedules. Total body training is great because it works multiple muscle groups at once. Think of it like multitasking– you can get more done in a shorter amount of time. Furthermore, total body exercise burns more calories compared to isolated training routines. Again, working multiple muscle groups is the key! It requires more effort, and thus burns more calories.
7 Day Total Body Workout Challenge
The rules of our 7 day Total Body Workout Challenge are simple! All you need to do is complete the workout specified for each day. Here are a few things to keep in mind this week:
- Always prioritize proper form over number of reps and time. Some of the workouts will have you racing the clock or trying to get as many reps as possible. While this can make the routine more exciting, it’s always important to prioritize proper form over anything else.
- Use a weight that challenges you. You will notice that each workout specifies a light, medium, or heavy weight. Obviously, this will vary from person-to-person. Use your best judgement and challenge yourself, but again, prioritize proper form over lifting heavy weight.
- Don’t just do the bare minimum. If you’re actually at an intermediate (or advanced) fitness level, don’t settle for the beginner specifications. Remember, this should be challenging to you; it’s not supposed to be a walk in the park.
