Try this All Over Body workout to blast fat and tone up muscle




All Over Body Workout

This All Over Body workout actually does what it says on the tin so to speak. It is going to get your heart pumping and your muscles popping. Remember that after your warm up you should have a short stretch before you carry on with the program. When you have finished do another stretch but hold your stretches a little longer to promote flexibility and prevent injury.

You can follow this workout 3 times a week for a couple of weeks then change it up and either use heavier weighs, take less rest between sets, do more sets or reps. The reason for this is so your body doesn't get used to the same thing all the time. It is a way of progressing your workouts to make more changes.

By following the All Over Body workout you will target most areas, upper and lower body, plus you will get a great cardio effect so you will be blasting fat and building your best body.

One thing to remember is to always write down everything. Use a workout journal to record your sets and reps for your All Over Body plan. You can use your journal to write down what you felt during your workout, how you recovered, what you should do next time etc. A journal is a great tool. You will never remember what you've done from day to day so it's great to just get your journal out and you will have it forever. You will be able to compare workouts you did ages ago and see how much more fitter you are compared to then.
