Basic Fully Body Workout. This is the first option of composing your own workout. Just pick one exercise from each muscle group. Perform 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps for each exercise. You can either go through all of the sets on one exercise, then move to another, or you can superset or circuit through them. Supersetting is performing two exercises back to back until the sets are complete. Circuiting is going through a few, or all of the lifts once, then going back through again or twice more. The exercises can be placed in any order that you like, just make sure you aren’t working the same muscles too close together or performing similar lifts too close together (i.e. shoulder press and incline bench press).
Most exercises may be performed with dumbbells, bars, machines, or cables. They may also be performed standing or seated on a bench or stability ball.
