Full Body Workout Routine for Women: 2 Really Amazing Examples

I’m yet to meet an expert in the fitness industry that doesn’t believe in the benefits of a full body workout routine for women.

Now that I’ve seen the results in my personal life, I’m really excited to share what I’m doing with you.

I started a 30 day plan with 90% full body workouts for women.

The goal was to lose the last teeny bit of baby weight and, you know, just be active in general.

It took me about 40 days to do the 30 day plan (because, uhmm days off!) but yesterday was the last day and I cannot believe how effective it was!!!

Results of Doing a Full Body Workout Routine for Women

  • I am now back to my pre-pregnancy weight
  • I now fit into a pair of adorable houndstooth leggings that I could never fit into (even though it says “one size fits all”)
  • My thighs don’t touch anymore (hallelujah!)
  • And best of all, I feel physically stronger than when I first started! (today, i was able to carry my almost 20 pound son with his car seat and it was effortless. Those of you with big babies know what i”m talking about. Shoulder pain is real!)

I’m happy to share all 30 days of the workout routine but I don’t want to bore you!

So i’ll just focus on two really good examples!

This particular workout routine might appear easy but believe me when I say it is HELL! My legs were soggy when I finished. Soggy! 

Also, I couldn’t do the squats all the way through. I did jumping jacks for the last 5 sets.

I hope you enjoyed these two really good examples of full body workout routines for women.

I think the most important lesson I learned from doing this is to start with an intensity level that is comfortable and then work my way up from there.

You don’t want to rush out of the gate, guns blazing, and hurt yourself.

Take a slow and steady approach. Add in some consistency, and you’re well on the way to reaching your fitness goals.
