Full Body Training Beginner Style:

Following up on my “New Year New Me” article, I figured I provide you with a great full body training program for beginners. This program is simple and will provide you with a great foundation into your continuation of fitness.

---

Some disclaimers:

-The program I am providing is in my opinion a great way to get you started into fitness.

-Some of the program is machine based and for two specific reasons. 1.) A lot of beginners don’t have the stabilization/coordination required to perform a ton of free weight work. 2.) A lot of beginners may be utilizing apartment gyms/commercial gyms filled with machines, and thus it should be fairly easy to perform these exercises almost anywhere.

-The program is intended to have 3 workout days, preferably with one day in between each workout.

-There are optional HIIT days in between each workout day (see my HIIT article that I recently posted for details of the program).

-Each planned workout session is intended to last about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes.

-The rep scheme provided is just a rough guide, I would prefer if you emphasized the quality of each rep, over the actual quantity/volume performed.

-This program will be worthless unless you have proper nutrition, so please keep that in mind.

-Please remember to stretch/warm-up as necessary before performing any exercises.

Here’s the program:
