Full body exercise

This is one of the exercises I like to use when I’m training as you can have a really good full body workout in just a few minutes.

If you would you like to do a whole body workout but don’t have too much time this is a good option as you are going to work everything. Legs, arms (pulling and pushing muscles), core, strength, cardio.

You can perform it with a barbell, a pair of dumbbells or a pair of kettlebells.

Make sure you use a challenging weight but heavy enough to perform a shoulder press with a good technique.

During the push up phase keep your spine with a neutral alignment (don’t let your back collapse or arch).

During the shoulder press phase also keep your spine in neutral. To help to keep a good alignment keep your bar slightly forward (not straight above your head).

If you need an option, try to do it without the push up but hold for a few seconds on a plank position instead.

As with all exercises listen to your body and ask for a professional advice if not sure how to perform.
