Workout of the Week: Full Body Training

While a lot of people believe targeting ‘problem areas’ is the way to go, the reality is full body training is one of the most effective ways to train.

Why? Full body training allows you to use more energy as you are engaging more of your body’s major muscle groups with each workout. An isolated exercise, like biceps curls, is only targeting a much smaller muscle group and therefore using less energy.

By engaging more of the major muscle groups you are increasing your chances of burning more body fat, it is also a great way to get the maximum result from your allocated exercise time.
