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!

My Workout Update 2/9/2022
Working out my first 2 weeks
It’s been 2 weeks since I got serious about my working out. I did my at home workout at least 12 times so far. I started on January 26th, 2022 and took a video of my first workout. Please excuse the amateur video, background sound and interruptions. I will get better at these videos. These videos are for my tracking and to see my progress. I will be mixing up different exercises and using a pill up bar with dumbbells for my workout.
Walking a few times, a week for fat loss
Walking is my go-to exercise to burn additional calories. I walk with my wife at the back of where I live. The walk is a little over 2 1/2 miles and on the way back we stop by the lake and do at least 100 air squats.
Workout progress
It has been 14 days since I started this training and I dropped from 196lbs to 185lbs. I lost both some body fat and muscle. I realize lifting heavier weights increases muscle, but I am working out at home and my 35lb dumbbells are all I have. The pull up bar does help, and I did incorporate the bar, but I have not taken a video of those workouts yet.
