Before you jump right into your strict and rigid “body-sculpting-fat-burning-perfect-human-specimen” routine, remember that you’ve been off the wagon for a couple of weeks…well, if you’re like me that is. The holidays may have put you in a state of relaxation, and you may have been on a very “lenient” diet, so to say. The last thing you want to do is shock your body into a heavy workout routine without securing your foundation. So what’s the best way to do build that foundation? How about a couple of full body workouts?

Season your body and your muscles into the new year with 2-3 full body workouts before jumping right back into your split program. Its a great way to wake those muscles up and get them ready for the long road ahead. Use open kinetic chain exercises to get the muscles communicating amongst eachother readily, and don’t lift to heavy. Start off at 80-90% of your usual work load. This method is far better than risking a body to sore to perform the next day’s workout, or worse yet, pulling a muscle. And don’t forget to stretch, stretch, and stretch again!
