What exercises should I encorporate in a routine to work out every muscle in my body?

Question

Personal trainers...please help!!!!

Answer 1

Let's list the major muscle groups:
Chest
back
arms
shoulders
and leg muscles (glutes, hamstrings, quads)

This is a total body workout im going to explain. it can b done 2-3x a week. MWF Monday wed friday

bench press or pushups (chest, tricepts)
barbell curl (biceps, forearms)
squats (quads, glutes, hamstrings, back muscle)
bent over rows (triceps and back muscles)
military press (tricep, trapezoids, shoulders)

2 sets, 8-10 reps...then the next week, do 3 sets
this should take less than an hour to do but it works your entire body everyday you do it. then do 30min cardio afterwards if u like, but Tues. Thurs. n Sat. u should do a 30-45min cardio to balance ur routine out.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Swimming is excellent for those days that you just want to give yourself a thorough full-body-thrashing.

But please note, daily full-body work-outs aren't necessary and you aren't gonna see results any more quickly.

The best method I have seen is isolating muscle groups for each work out session. For example, on Mondays you might work your back and biceps, Tuesdays might be chest and triceps, Wednesdays might be legs, Thursdays might be full-body, etc. Just make sure you give yourself and your body plenty of time to recuperate.

Answer 4

I think you should try out push ups and abdomen exercises and run a lot,this are the main exercises that workout your entire body.

Answer 5

the best exercise i would recommend is YOGA! I have been doing it for several years now and i must say that it not has only helped me to be physically fit, but it also gave me inner peace :)

i would highly recommend you to buy Wailana's yoga tapes. you can also get yoga mats, bags, books and other yoga supplies from her shop.

check out her website http://www.wailana.com/

you won't regret it! what's good about it is it's not only for adults/teens but they also have yoga tapes for kids! in fact, the whole family can enjoy exercising together without having to go to the gym.

good luck and continue to live a healthy life! :)
