]]> Between work, family, and hobbies, finding the time to get in your workouts can prove challenging. This is why implementing efficient workouts proves so important. Here are some quick full-body workouts that you can try in order to get your fitness fix quickly.

Devil’s Press

With dumbbells in hand, drop down into a push-up position and lower your chest to the ground. Push up as you normally would and jump up with your legs into a squat. Stand up and raise your arms overhead.

Kettlebell Swings

Place a kettlebell between your legs and squat down between grabbing the handle with both hands. Pull the weight between your legs, drive your hips forward, and swing the weight up to shoulder height with your arms completely stretched out.

Burpees

Start in a pushup position on the floor. Complete a pushup and jump into the air before returning to a squad and ultimately going back down into the pushup position.

]]> In addition to being small, light, and compact, resistance bands are also highly versatile pieces of equipment if you know how to use them effectively. Here are some resistance band exercises that will give you a full-body workout.

Tricep Kickbacks

Start this exercise by standing on your resistance bands with your feet shoulder-width apart and proceed to lean forward while keeping your spine straight. Bend your elbows to a 90-degree angle and lift the resistance band up behind you until your arms are straight before lowering back down again. This workout targets your triceps, back, and glutes while requiring resistance from your core.

Front Raise

Once again, start your exercise by stepping on your resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your abs tight as you lift your arms up to shoulder height before gradually lowering back down.

Bent-Over Row

Using the usual starting point, lean forward while maintaining a straight back and solid core. With your arms nearly straight, start to bring them up to your torso until your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle before lowering back down.

]]> Swimming is an awesome way to get a full workout, since moving through the water’s resistance works your muscles naturally and coming up and down for air works your cardiovascular system in tandem with moving against resistance. When it comes to a full-body workout, there are two strokes that work 48 of your muscles—which is a lot! And there’s one more that’s great for a cool-down. Here’s what to learn for a full-body workout in the pool!

Freestyle

Also known as the front crawl, a freestyle stroke involves alternating arm sides to pull you through the water. That means you get a brief rest on one side while the other side works out, and you come up to breathe only every other stroke. Meanwhile, your feet are doing a flutter kick, which is important but in fact, your arms are doing most of the propulsion work in this stroke.

Butterfly

Butterfly has a bit of a reputation as the hardcore swim stroke and there’s good reason for it. Though it works the same number of muscles as freestyle, it’s more strenuous on the body and involves the entire core and legs as well as arms which propel you out of the water on every stroke. You’re moving everything all the time, too, so you don’t get that alternating rest for an intense cardio and muscle workout.

Backstroke

Backstroke is a great stroke to learn to especially strengthen back muscles, which is especially good for those prone to back pain. It also works most of the rest of the body, but if you’re looking for a full-body stroke, it’s particularly good for warmup and cooldown before launching into butterfly. That’s because you keep your face above water at all times, so you’ll have a little more control over your breathing and be able to raise your heart rate more slowly.

]]> Splitting your workout into exercises that target certain muscle groups has its benefits, but it can be pretty time-consuming. Doing full-body workouts is a much more effective strategy and it can help you maximize your training in more ways than one.

Strength + Cardio

If you’re trying to solve the endless dilemma of picking between strength and cardio training, how about doing both at once? That’s exactly the idea behind full-body workouts, and they allow you to burn some major calories and tone your muscles at the same time, by combining cardio and strength training into one movement.

Higher Intensity

One of the best things about full-body workouts is that they allow you to burn more calories and fat in a shorter period of time. They tend to be more intense than other forms of exercise because you’re required to activate your whole body with each movement.

Injury Prevention

Targeting one muscle group while neglecting others won’t do your body any good in the long run and it can lead to pain and injuries. Full-body workouts come with a lower risk factor because you’ll be working for several muscle groups at the same time, making sure they’re getting the same kind of attention.

Spacing out which part of your body you strengthen can allow you to target, stretch, and tone more specifically each individual muscle. Here are some tips on how to get a full body workout over the course of each week by working out a different muscle group each day.

Keep an Eye on Your Schedule

Do you have plans to go hiking or stand at a concert this week? Maybe skip leg day this week. If you know you’ll be using a certain part of your body a lot on a specific day, you’ll want to plan to work that section on a day when it won’t be sore—or you may want to skip it completely if your activity will work it out for you.

Make Sure to Plan

Working out different parts of your body on different days requires sticking to a plan of operation. That way, you’ll be prepared in advance and you won’t end up working one part of your body and then finding your schedule won’t fit the rest. You may also wish to meal plan to accommodate soreness, strength, or cardio workouts.

30 Minute Full Body Workout by Move with Nicole

And there is a reason why this simple move has been popular for so long – it can be done anywhere, since it requires no additional equipment or weights and it’s really effective because it engages a large number of muscles in our body.

In the last few decades, trainers and fitness gurus have developed many different push-up versions that you can combine to exercise almost every muscle group in the body. 

We have gathered four of the best push-up versions that are maximally effective and fun!

Classic Push-Up

Traditional push-ups are great for building upper body strength, as they target the triceps, pecs, and shoulders. Do them with proper form to develop your lower back and core as well. 

One-Arm Push-Up

This is a really challenging and intense exercise meant to put more weight on one arm, thereby developing it more effectively. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BuzfbyngXpr/?utm_source=ig_embed

Clap Push-Up

The clap push-up is performed just like the classic pushup but with a twist: when you are at the top of your push-up, clap your hands in the air, then return them safely to the ground.  

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0bkg4sgc3j/

Diamond Push-Up

This one is great for exhausting the triceps because you’re supposed to create a diamond shape with your arms.
