Full Body Workouts for Women at Home

Full body workouts for women can be achieved with simple exercises that can be done in the comfort of home. So, if you are you looking for a quick, convenient, flexible, and a result-driven way to get a full body workout...then bodyweight exercises may be the answer for you. You can do them in the privacy of your own home, when you want to, and they get results. Plus, they are completely safe to do, unlike the use of weights which can be hard on the joints and frame of the body, and are regularly the cause of serious injuries. It is as simple as that.

Bodyweight workouts offer great full body workouts for women and men. Here are four easy exercises that will work out your whole body:

Full Body Workout for Women Exercise #1:

Push-ups are a great way to exercise your chest, shoulders, and arms. They also exercise your abs, back, and legs, as well as a variety of other stabilizer muscles. Give them a try in the traditional position or do them with your knees on the ground (when just getting started), and experience for yourself all the different muscles being exercised.

Full Body Workout for Women Exercise #2:

Crunches are fantastic way to isolate and exercise your abdominal area. Crunches are similar to sit-ups, but they isolate your stomach muscles better. Simply lie down with your back on the floor and your legs (bent at the knees) in the air. Cross your feet at the ankles, cross your arms on your chest (with each hand on opposite shoulder), and attempt to sit up by moving your torso and head toward your legs. Slowly go up as far as you can, and then slowly come back down. (Tip: Don’t come down all the way…this will allow you to keep constant tension on your abs and get the best results).

Full Body Workout for Women Exercise #3:

Squats are great bodyweight exercises. They isolate the major muscle groups of your upper legs and butt, as well as a variety of stabilizer muscles. The basic squat can be done by standing with your feet shoulder with apart, with back straight, head looking up (not down), hands behind head, and, keeping your weight centered over your legs with your heels on the ground, slowly bend at the knees until your upper legs and butt are parallel to the ground. Hold that position for a moment and then slowly return to your starting position.

Full Body Workout for Women Exercise # 4:

Lunges are another exercise that really get results. Start in a standing position with your feet just slightly apart. Keep your weight well-centered so you do not lose your balance. Take a long stride forward with either leg until the knee of your opposite leg barely touches the ground, hold position for just a moment, and shift your weight backwards, returning to your starting upright position. Then repeat with your opposite leg. This will really target your thighs (front and back) and your derriere.

You Can Get the Full Body Workout You Want

If you do these 4 exercises at least 3 times a week, with some good stretching, and making sure to get your heart-rate up (this can be done by simply doing these exercises in quick succession, or through spinning, jumping rope, running, etc.), you will get a great full body workout. And yes, the results will follow.

And that is the bottom line isn‘t it? Fantastic results. So, I will say it again, bodyweight workouts are great full body workouts for women and men. Now some guys may be too macho and think that real guys have to use weights…to each his own. But, bodyweight exercises are safe, convenient, and results-driven, and that is a pretty good combination.

So get started with some of these basic exercises, and build up to others over time as your fitness progresses. And enjoy all the benefits: no more gym, no more weights or equipment, no more people gawking at you, convenient workouts any time and anywhere, and great results.

I have a mini stepper- great for at home as you can step whilst watching favourite programmes when you'd normally be sat doing nothing:)
