Who says you need to split your workout routine?
At 57, I’ve found that a full-body workout is the ultimate efficiency hack. Instead of isolating muscle groups on different days, I’ve discovered that working my entire body in one session delivers a more comprehensive and effective workout.
Here’s why I’m a full-body convert:
* Time Efficiency: Less time in the gym, more time for life.
* Metabolic Boost: Targeting all muscle groups ignites your metabolism, leading to increased calorie burn.
* Functional Fitness: Real life isn’t about isolating muscles; it’s about coordinated movement. Full-body workouts mimic everyday activities better.
* Balanced Development: Preventing imbalances and ensuring overall strength and flexibility.
Of course, everyone’s fitness journey is unique. But if you’re looking to maximize your time and results, consider giving full-body workouts a try. Your body will thank you!

14 years ago, heavy leg press
I’ve always been drawn to lifting heavy weights. Walking into a gym, I felt the adrenaline kick in—I was ready to make my mark. Recently, I recorded a video at LA Fitness on Dale Mabry, near Van Dyke Road in Tampa, Florida. Join me as I share my passion for strength training and the thrill of pushing my limits.

Day 15 of the Push-Up Challenge
Starting the day with 3130 push-ups done! Since I reached my goal of 3000 push-ups in just 15 days, I’m now shifting my focus to quality over quantity. I’ll still do a minimum of 100 push-ups per day, but I’ll also incorporate other exercises into my routine.
The Exercise Mix
In addition to push-ups, I’ll be including sit-ups every day, matching the number of push-ups. I believe in a well-rounded workout, so I’ll also incorporate a leg exercise that corresponds to the number of push-ups. To begin, I’m adding dumbbell squats for a great lower body workout.
