Get ready for summer with the right workout

Many people begin their most intense workout programs this time of year to gear up for all the outdoor activities and beach vacations they have planned.
So what is the best way to get summer-ready in the shortest amount of time?
The most effective path to getting in shape is a combination of full body workouts alternated with High Intensity Interval Training,

Full body workouts consist of at least one exercise per muscle group.  Rest one to two days between workouts.

A great way to add variety to full body workouts is to make Workout 1 a compound exercise day consisting of all movements that engage more than one muscle at a time.

Designate Workout 2 as an isolation day consisting of all movements that focus on one specific muscle at a time.

For Workout 3 have fun with a novelty workout day.  Incorporate some functional training such as tire flipping or calisthenics such as pushups, pull-ups, and dips into your third workout day.

Suspension Training is another great option for your third workout day. It will help spare your joints while working out the primary muscles along with the stabilizer muscles as well.

The variety of three different full body workout programs will keep each day fresh and fun.  Each workout has a purpose in helping you to reach your fitness goals.
