]]>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.
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.
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.

]]>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.
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.
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.

]]>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 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 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.

]]>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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
