Workouts

Here are 3
big reasons to consider full body workouts:

Saves you time.

Throw in a couple of full body workouts per week and your training frequency will naturally come down. That will save you time per week by reducing your daily time in the gym. In addition, even within a single session you can reduce your time training by trying a modified full body workout where you perform just one exercise per major body part. To keep the time down further, you can also reduce the time between sets and keep your sets to three per exercise.

Stimulates more muscle.

With more muscle groups being worked at once, your body is getting more bang for its buck when it comes to muscle stimulation. Performing big compound movements multiple times a week — and in a variety of rep ranges — means you’ll be stimulating more muscle fibres. As long as you’re taking enough proper post-workout nutrition and getting enough rest (see below), it’s a recipe for success.

Gives you more recovery time.

As mentioned above, hitting more body parts at once means your training frequency will come down. That gives your body more time for rest and recovery before coming back to the gym for another big session. Depending on how you structure your workouts, you might do two-to-three full body sessions per week — and that’s it. The rest is prime recovery time to help your body grow.
