KNOWLEDGE IS YOUR MOST POWERFUL WEAPON

A Beginner’s Guide to Designing a Full-Body Workout

If you can build a muscle, you can build a mindset.
––Jay Shetty
​Are you at the beginning of your fitness journey and want to design your own workouts? Then you’re in the right place. Read this article and learn to apply basic principles of exercise science to create your own full-body training sessions.
 
First of all, I’ll be completely honest with you: A single blog article is no substitute for a personal trainer or coach, who can teach you correct form and draw upon their expertise and experience to craft a training program suited to your current fitness level, skills, and individual body.
 
But not everyone has access to a coach, and some training is better than no training.
 
As a beginner, what you need the most are consistency and practice, so you can get great results for months with a simple, well-structured full-body workout.
 
I trained this way three days a week for six months when I started bodybuilding. I have clients who do the same, even if they’re not beginners anymore, and still get incredible results.
 
Now that I’ve spent long enough singing the praises of full-body training, let’s get into the basics.
 
In order to create a science-based muscle-building workout, you need to understand:
 
  • Exercise selection
  • Exercise order
  • Reps
  • Sets
  • Rest intervals
  • Tempo
 
Ready? Strap in.

There’s no quick or magical way to lose weight. You just have to do it the natural way – diet and exercise and stick to it – and be able to do it at your own pace.
––Jordin Sparks
​Cravings can throw a spanner in the works of the best planned fat loss diet. After all, whoever craves celery sticks?
 
It’s much more common to yearn for cookies, brownies, cupcakes, chips, pizza, and other not-so-nutritious food that packs a caloric punch.
 
So what can you do when you get the irresistible urge to reach for the cookie jar?
 
Let’s talk about not only one, but five potential solutions to your craving situation.

Stimulate; don’t annihilate.
––Lee Haney
If you want to increase your strength or muscle mass, the solution is obvious: Add some kind of resistance training to your workout routine, whether that’s lifting or callisthenics.
 
But did you know that you need to train in two different ways to maximise strength or muscle mass?
 
In today’s article, I’m going to cover exactly that and more, including:
 
  • What is strength?
  • What is muscle mass?
  • What are the main differences and similarities when training for one or the other?
 
Let’s start off with strength.
