Total Body Workout | The Key to Strength & Aesthetics?

With so many training splits out there, it can be tough to pick a favorite. My favorites change often, but I always come back to total body training. And the reason for this is because you're able to achieve a greater frequency of training. Muscles can be trained multiple times per week, which can lead to better gains. Since the volume is low per muscle group, you won't experience as much physical or mental fatigue, which can help with getting more quality reps per workout and avoiding junk volume. Your overall volume per week can also be greater than a traditional muscle group split.

Total body training can be effective for any level of expertise. If you're a beginner, training 1-2x per week to start out with is a great way to see some gains but also avoid early burnout. If you're advanced, you can easily tailor each workout to target specific muscles multiple times per week.

Today's workout comes from Flex FIT, the newest 90-day program for home and gym. It features voiceover video instructions, so you know what muscle(s) you're working, body position, weight distribution, and cues to help target the muscles more effectively.

The workout:
1. Zercher squat
2. Wide stance RDL
3. Alternating arm shoulder press
4. T-raise
5. Double dumbbell pullover
6. Incline bench curls
Superset with
Dumbbell triceps extension

Home workout (included in program as well):
1. Dumbbell deadlift
2. Wide stance dumbbell RDL
3. Alternating arm shoulder press
4. T-raise
5. Double dumbbell pullover
6. Incline bench curls

Dumbbell triceps extension

When you get a chance!

I switched to full body workouts this summer, after years of body part splits. The results blew my mind. 🤯 I wish I did this sooner.

[geoffreyeickmann]

Thanks! You relly do work so hard at being consistant in every motion. Praying you get better.

[athena]

Praying for speedy recovery, strength, patience and peace.

I just love you Erin and the reminders at the end that progress isn’t always linear. You have great mindset tips for avoiding the all-or-nothing traps. You seem to say what I need to hear when I need to hear it. You’re as genuine as they come! Thank you for sharing!

This year, I've found myself gravitating to doing more full-body workouts, rather than splits or isolation exercises. I don't belong to a gym, so I workout exclusively at home. I would LOVE to see a home workout version of this!
Thank you Erin, and wishing you a speedy recovery from your injury, and getting back to your regular routine asap! ❤

Your helped me train my daughter so much this summer. In 3.5 months she has put 6 inches on her butt and many exercises she has hit 5X for her strength. I never knew hip thrusts were important. I went for 2 45s to 8 now. Plus your aesthetic is amazing. Thank you. Just what we needed.
I'm sending you a high five through the internet and I hope you heal soon.

Hi Erin I would like to see home version of this workout.

[anahi-fireoftheforest]

Jesus Erin, your upper body looks so toned. You are going to come back stronger than ever. I would love to see the home workout.

Just on time when it is much needed. Erin always comes for the rescue....Wonder Woman she is ❤

[nwmateo]

Love the new Intro! I hope you are healing up well.

[isabheipyu]

Thanks Erin, I love your workouts and have been doing them for 2 years now. Home version would be great for times travelling or away from a gym! Thank you! Like you had an injury and found yr last video so helpful too. Thank you so much!

[adegbenroagoro]

Thank you very much Erin. I've recently started SPLITTING my day's workouts into morning and evening sessions. Theoretically the only difference in the total time spent is my second warmup. I have less junk reps and definitely have more energy afterwards

[yvonnewalker]

Good advice on progress! Hope you’re healing quickly!

[mitt]

Love your videos. I am back in the gym from a few years off and I really find your videos user friendly. I have created a split workout routine (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) with a full body on Friday. Going see how that goes for a couple of months. Hope to see you back training soon.

Flex fit! I like it! I love how Erin talks about working out... Sounds so tactical! Way cool... I'm totally getting it!

[celesteinman]

Love it. Didn't know or realize this second one also targets inner thighs

[maryurban]

Thanks so much for your insightfulness to the way "we" talk ourselves into and out of working out! I, too, would
be interested in the at-home version - I do have an adjustable bench and 5, 10 & 15 lbs dumbbells. Doing RDL without a bar and plates should be interesting. Never the less, I will be doing the upper body with dumbells, as
you have shown here. Who knows that you have come here for a time such as this?
