Let me show you how to organize your workouts. Also some exercises so you can create your own.

Most of the Full Body Workouts sessions I do are from 6 to 8 exercises in a super set or tri-set manner plus intervals at the end. You can organize it like this:

Super Set 1

  • Lower Body Exercise (Posterior) some people say knee dominant.
  • Upper Body Pushing Exercise (vertical)

Super Set 2

  • Lower Body Exercise (Anterior) Hip Dominant
  • Upper Body Pulling Exercise (Horizontal)

Super Set 3

  • Lower Body Exercise (single leg)
  • Upper Body Pushing Exercise (Horizontal or Vertical)

Super Set 4

  • Total Body Metabolic Exercise
  • Core Exercise

You can mix this any way you want. Just keep each Super Set 1upper body exercise and 1lower body exercise
