Want to be in good shape? I say that being in good shape is far from simply looking the part. Being in great shape — ready for the demands of life and sport — means functioning effectively and efficiently as a whole. Most advance trainers have arms days, legs days, core routines, etc. But there is a more efficient and effective way to train, be it from the metabolic perspective (burning calories during the session and post-workout), its by training the full body! What I mean by full-body training is doing exercises that require the whole body to contribute to the drill. Doing a lunge or squat is not enough. If you are doing a lunge or squat, consider adding a task such as shoulder-to-overhead press with the lunge/squat, for example or a forward lunge with a arm curl or even a side lunge with a lateral side raise. I recommend that you keep your exercises simple to begin with (i.e., forward movements before lateral movements before movements requiring a turn), and incorporate 5-10 minutes of these movements in each of your workouts, varying the exercises from session to session. Youll find that when you move the whole body, you start to feel and move better, and in much less time than youd normally spend on each of your ab days, arm days or legs days. If you require more guidance then feel free to speak to one of the clubs trainers. Mark
