2) Do Full-Body WorkoutsIf you only focus on one, or twomuscle groups each workout, youare using a very inefficient andunnatural approach to fitness.The bodybuilding method oftraining one, or two muscle groupseach workout is deeply flawed.I followed the bodybuilding approach for many years and it left me inflexible, lessathletic, sore all the time, and too worried about how I looked.The truth is that your body is an integrated web of muscles, ligaments, tendons,and fascia. Your body is not a dumb machine with parts stuck together.Here are a few major benefits of full body strength workouts:1) Burn substantially more calories (during and after the workout) 12) Develop a more balanced body that looks athletic3) Feel fresh and energized, not soreBy training the same muscles more frequently 2, or 3 times each week, researchsuggests you will also boost your strength faster. 2 And finally, challenging yourmuscles each workout helps prevent muscle loss, because if you don’t use yourmuscles, you lose them. 3I know after a long day at work your body may feel stiff, your lower back may besore, and you don't really feel like moving at all. It’s easier to do couple sets ofbench press, a few biceps curls, and then leave. But what your body really needsto counteract lack of movement is - you guessed it - to move and stimulate all ofyour muscles every workout.©2015 Elite Training Partners LLC DBA BuiltLean - All Rights Reservedwww.BuiltLean.com 6
