The main goal of a full-body workout is to target all of your muscle groups to efficiently and effectively promote muscle growth.

Whether you’re a bodybuilder of any level, are underweight, or want to build muscle following an injury or illness, a total-body workout can help you gain muscle and strength.

Choose exercises that involve compound, or multi-joint, movements to target your entire body. Working more muscles at once can save you time and maximize your gains. It’s also helpful to do exercises that target large areas of muscle.

  • Design your workout plan so you can target all muscle groups equally.

  • Begin with the most important exercises that are a priority in terms of meeting your training goals.
  • On occasion, you can train to failure, especially when you’re using low weight loads. Allow for up to 3 minutes of rest between sets.
  • For each workout, target up to two muscle groups or movements. Depending on the difficulty of each exercise, you can do up to six per workout.
