I love being able to have a good long workout and hit all my muscles individually, but that's not always how my schedule works! Being a busy, working woman only allows me so much time to work out so I really love getting several muscles with one move when I can!
I got the idea of hitting more than one muscle with every move from Jillian Michaels in her workout videos. She is always talking about getting her whole body working even if she's mainly trying to workout on part of her body. This is a great mentality to have because it means you're really getting an all over lean and greater fat loss by using every muscle in your workout. Plus, it's a faster way to get a full body sweat!
Ballet Boot Camp is a great example of targeting multiple muscles by adding hand weights to leg and ab exercises.
Tracy Anderson is a another great trainer for this type of workout and she shows it here in her dumbbell workout for Health Magazine. This workout shows several easy ways to add dumbbells to an already fat scorching routine.
My favorite ways to get multiple muscle groups with one move are to combine things like calf raises and bicep curls or shoulder presses. Combining the two allows for you to get you arms and calves as well as strengthening your core by causing you to need it to stay balanced. These kind of easy changes to an already existing routine make it easier to build in more without taking more time out of your day.
If you really want to get the most out of your every workout move, I recommend anything by Jillian Michaels, she is the best at combining moves to make you burn the most fat off your body and get you lean and looking great in no time!
Try just adding just a little bit of multiple muscle moves to your work out today and see how it makes you feel!
