A full body workout is when you utilize your core (which comprises of your back muscles, abs and sides), your arms, and/ or your legs, and mimic natural movements. In some cases you may utilize your core and your upper body more and in other cases you may utilize your lower body and core more than the upper body. They are called full body because they use multiple body parts hence enhancing balance by making different elements dependent on each other. Doing a combination of these full body workouts will go far in increasing your strength, stamina, and building lean muscle, thereby reducing weight. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images
