Here is a total body workout plan that is easy and fun, based on your own time, lifestyle and interests. There are three very important elements to this plan, which are based on you, the individual, and not club memberships or machines. 1. Basic weight lifting, muscle toning exercises. This can be very straightforward and simple, and does not have to involve a gym membership and hours of work each week. All you really need are a pair of dumbbells or strength resisting bands. Workouts with your weights can be very short and still remain very effective. By short I mean 15 to 20 minutes max. Usually the long weight training sessions are the least effective due to over training which leads to zero results and increased injury. 2. Next, pick a sport or activity which interests you. This is very important and makes the difference between productive life changing workouts, and failed workout lifestyles. We’re not put on this earth to just walk like a zombie on a treadmill. We should activelyengage or train for sports and activities which we truly enjoy doing. Learn the routines and exercises necessary to excel in your activity, and have some fun becoming a healthier individual. 3. Have a backup exercise plan or try new activities. Sometimes you may not be able to practice your sport or activity, so to stay in shape you should plan on backup exercising such as walking around the block or bicycling. Or, you could experiment with training for new activities or sports. Learning to train for your hobby sport or activity can be a great way to get in shape. Combine it with a basic weight lifting regimen, and you’ll have yourself a well rounded, healthy, total body workout plan. You can consult books or online workout plans which can show you how to train for whatever activity or sport you are interested in.
