Build Strength & Stamina: The Best Beginner Full-Body Routine

Build Strength & Stamina: The Best Beginner Full-Body Routine

This beginner-friendly full-body routine is divided into four sections. Parts A and B consist of supersets, where two exercises are performed consecutively without rest.

Begin with a few warm-up sets, then complete three working sets for both sections. Minimise rest between movements but allow 90-120 seconds between sets.

These exercises focus on the chest, quads, hamstrings, back, and arms.

Part C is a tri-set, meaning three exercises are performed back-to-back. Similar to supersets, rest as little as possible between moves but take 90-120 seconds at the end of each round.

This section emphasises the legs, chest, and core.

The final section, Part D, involves a 10-minute cardio interval session. You can use a cardio machine, perform outdoor sprints, or opt for burpees.

Work at high intensity for 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of rest, repeating for a total of 10 minutes.

Track your progress, whether it’s distance, reps, or calories, and aim to improve weekly.
