The other day I was walking into the gym short on time (as usual, when is there ever enough?).
I wanted to get in a total-body workout with weights as I wasn’t going to make it back in for a couple of days. As I started looking around, I go to thinking “okay – I can do that chest exercise or that one. Then I want to do that leg exercise… or maybe that one…”
Basically as I looked around I got to thinking – there are so many good exercises for specific body areas it’s hard to pick just one.
Then it hit me – a “Choose Your Own Adventure” gym day. I pick the body areas and the order, you pick the exercise you do.
A fun workout that gives you plenty of options to shred your entire body. Sound good?

HOW MANY TIMES IN A WEEK SHOULD YOU DO A TOTAL BODY WORKOUT?
