Full body strength training provides a HUGE bang for your buck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you are looking to improve your overall strength, add muscle, improve your athleticism and ability to move (and even how your body feels), full body training is hugely beneficial! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With full body training, as you are targeting the entire body you do not need to spend HOURS at the gym, nor do you have to train every day of the week. Doing 2 to 3 full body workouts per week is more than sufficient! If you do not have access to dumbbells, you can use band resistance. If you are experienced with barbell training, you can use a barbell for most of these exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #1) Heel Elevated Tempo Squats<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This squat variation really hones in on the quadriceps. You will use a tempo where you perform the lowering\/eccentric component in three seconds, and the lifting\/concentric component in three seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this variation, you will elevate your heels on weight plates, dumbbells, or another stable elevated surface(s). Make sure the surface you are using is VERY stable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The elevated heels allows for a greater range, and more forward knee tracking. Use a range that feels comfortable. This is very important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You CAN build a strong body using a fairly minimal amount of equipment! These exercises are in my Ultimate Full Body Program<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
