Tips On How to Do A Total Body Workout

By Liana Badea


When loosing weight, while certain parts of your body may be slimming down, others will stay stubbornly flabby. The reason why this happens is that your body isn't really programmed to lose weight uniformly. Instead, it loses weight in direct response to what you're doing and which parts of your body you're working most.

The solution to this is simple: total body exercises. Some exercises are better at encouraging uniform weight loss than others, mostly because they use a wide array of muscles throughout the body.

The best body workout is achieved by swimming. Did you notice the perfect bodies of swimmers? They have those gorgeous bodies because swimming involves the work of a huge number of various muscles. Swimming is also a resistance workout thus toning the muscles too.

If you don't like swimming or you don't have access to a pool, the best alternative is aerobics, which also provides a total body workout routine. Aerobics exercising is very convenient because you can do it at home, anytime you feel like it. There are a lot of fun DVD's on the market that teach you how to get a good aerobics routine.

A great alternative to aerobics is brisk walking, which is very easy to do. Millions of people are getting more health conscious and walk on a regular basis. Start by walking in your own neighborhood, you will discover things you've never seen before and you will have fun. Get a pedometer and monitor how long you walk and how fast. Remember that the walk should be brisk so you can burn a lot of calories.

Going to the gym is another option and a very important step for getting into a total body workout routine. Some people are not very decisive, it could expensive, or they don't have enough time, but it is highly recommended.

Going to a gym is a very good idea because if you go to gym regularly, definitely you perform your workout routine. If you are at home, it is hard to stick to the rules of working out because of different chores or family activities you might need to do.

All these being said, what are you waiting for? Start your total body workout today!
