Men’s Health – 3 Full Body Workouts
Gaining muscle and losing fat are important to men’s health. And one good way to do this is with full body workouts. This method often allows you to build muscle as well as burn calories because these workouts really get your heart rate up there but there’s also a lot of resistance used with intensity. Below are three full body workouts for men’s health.
Full Body Workout 1
The first routine is a good power routine you can do in the gym but will also get your heart rate up to burn fat. Since you’re doing supersets, do not use heavy weights. Use light to moderate weight instead. All exercises hit major muscle groups and are compound movements yet smaller supporting muscles are being pulled in as well.
15 reps of squats followed by 15 reps of deadlifts – Repeat three times
15 reps of bench press followed by 15 reps of machine shoulder press – Repeat three times
Full Body Workout 2:
This workout requires no weights and virtually no equipment. You’re also using the superset technique as with the first workout. This will certainly get your heart rate up yet also contains explosive movements. This is a great routine you can do in your own backyard that works your upper and lower body. For dips you can use two chairs putting your feet on one and using the other for the dip movement (hands behind your back). Body weight workouts are great for men’s health.
40 yard sprint followed by pushups followed by dips (as many as you can do) – Repeat three times
Full Body Workout 3
This final full body routine is also designed to maximize your ability to jack up your heart rate as well as build lean muscle. Like the first workout this also requires a gym. It’s more of a circuit-training workout followed by a short intense cardio routine and is split up into two phases. The weight training portions are just 1 set of 15 reps.
Phase 1 – Upper Body – Machine bench press, dumbbell shoulder press, lat pulldowns, tricep rope extensions, dumbbell curls followed by 10 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical with high intensity every other minute (intervals).
Phase 2 – Lower Body – Leg press, leg extensions, leg curls, dumbbell lunges followed by the same cardio as above.
As you can see all three full body workouts are quite unique. But they’re all great for building muscle and burning fat, which will enhance overall men’s health.
