This total body workout offers a basic format for targeting the entire body — chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs and abs — in a short period of time.  It is best for exercisers who are familiar with basic strength moves, but want a simple home workout.

Precautions
See your doctor before trying this workout if you have any injuries, illnesses or other conditions, and modify any exercise that causes pain or discomfort.

Equipment Needed
A barbell, dumbbells of various weights, an exercise ball, a weight bench, and an exercise mat.

  • Intermediate/Advanced: Do 2 to 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps with enough weight so that you can only complete the desired number of reps.
