Full-body workout: choosing exercises that cover everything
A full-body workout trains the whole body in one session instead of splitting it across days.
It suits people who train two or three times a week: every muscle group is worked each time you show up, and a missed day costs less than it would in a split.
How to fill each session
The rule is the opposite of a split: do not stay in one region.
After each pick, Evenset suggests exercises for the other body regions, so a session that starts with an upper-body exercise moves on to legs and core.
Example sessions
Session A
Session B
Three things to keep in mind
- Build the session from movement types: a squat or lunge, a hinge, a push, a pull and a core exercise cover most of the body in five exercises.
- Put the most demanding lift first, while you are fresh.
- Vary the exercise for each slot between sessions, for example back squat one day and leg press the next, rather than repeating one fixed list.
The lists follow fixed pairing rules, not popularity or sponsorship. They are a starting point for choosing exercises, not a training plan or medical advice.
