A New Body Get a slimmer, stronger, and more muscular body in just 8 weeks

S

o you’ve finally decided to make some serious changes in your life? Just make sure you change what counts. Not your career...not your girlfriend...not your gender. If you

want to make a change that really matters, change your workout program.

Whether you’re a newcomer to the strength-

training scene or an old hand, you’ll find a total body workout for you—customized for your fitness level—to build up your arms, chest, shoulders, abs, back, and legs. At the end of this booklet, you’ll also find two sets of workout logs—one for beginners and one for more advanced lifters— because keeping track of your progress is an important motivator as well as key to muscle growth. Each log covers 8 weeks—at the end of which you’ll have a noticeably slimmer, stronger, and more muscular body.

Home Exercise Tip Unilateral decision: Some of our favorite things in life—socks, breasts—come in pairs. (Although other favorites, like golf balls and celebrity deaths, generally arrive in sets of three.) So what happens when you find yourself with an orphaned dumbbell, or when you have a pair of dumbbell handles but not enough weight plates to make an even pair? Go solo.

The dumbbell exercises in these workouts can be done with one dumbbell, often using

one arm at a time. One-arm bench presses and rows are pretty straightforward. (Make sure you start a set with your weaker arm—which will probably be your left if you’re right-handed. Do all the repetitions with that arm, then the same number with the other arm.) For squats and lunges, hold the single dumbbell in front of your chest with both hands. On deadlifts, try a variation called the suitcase deadlift. Start with the single dumbbell outside your left foot, grab it with your left hand, then stand straight up. (In other words, don’t lean to the side with the weight.) Do equal repetitions with the weight on each side.

Barbell Bench Press Works the chest

Dumbbell Deadlift Works the hamstrings and gluteals π

Set a pair of dumbbells on the floor so they’re parallel to each other and about 2 feet apart. Stand between them, squat down, and grab them overhand.

π

With your back flat and head up, stand up with the weights, pulling your shoulder blades back.

π

Slowly lower the weights to the starting position.

your legs, your shoulders over or just behind the bar, your arms straight, and your back flat or slightly arched.

Lat Pulldown Works the upper back π

Grab a lat pulldown bar with a shoulder-width, overhand grip.

π

Moving only your arms, pull the bar down to your chest by squeezing your shoulder blades together.

π

Pause, then slowly return to the starting position.

w w w. m e n s h e a l t h . c o m



Alternate #1: Swiss Ball EZ-Curl Pullover π

Holding the EZ-curl bar, lie with your head, neck, and upper back in contact with a Swiss ball. Bridge your hips up so they’re parallel to the floor and your knees are bent 90 degrees. Then extend your arms directly over your chest. From this position, do standard pullovers without letting your hips dip below the level of the ball.

Alternate #2: Dumbbell Pullover π

Lie lengthwise on a bench—not perpendicular to it, as you often see in gyms (if you frequent such places). Press your head, torso, lower back, and glutes firmly against the surface. Your feet should be flat on the floor (or, if you prefer, flat on the end of the bench). Place one hand around the handle of a dumbbell and wrap the other one over the gripping hand. Extend your arms directly above your collarbone, holding the dumbbell bar perpendicular to the floor.

π

Keeping your back flat against the bench to elongate your lats, slowly lower the weight behind your head until your arms are in line with your ears. Pause, then pull the weight back up. Slightly bend your elbows throughout.

10 T O T A L B O D Y W O R K O U T

LEG PRESS Works the quads π

Position yourself in a leg-press machine with your back against the pad and your feet about 4 inches apart on the platform.

π

Unlock the platform and slowly lower the weight until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.

π

Pause, then push the weight back up to the starting position.

Alternate #1: Dumbbell Squat π

Stand holding two dumbbells at your sides at arm’s length, your feet shoulder-width apart. Pull your shoulder blades back.

π

Bend your knees and lower your body as if you were sitting back into a chair. Stop when the tops of your thighs are parallel to the floor. The object is to keep your lower back in its naturally arched alignment and your knees from moving forward past your toes. Return to the starting position.

Alternate #1: Barbell Bent-Over Row π

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees bent 15 to 30 degrees. Keep your torso straight with a slight arch in your back as you lean forward at the hips. Try to get your torso close to parallel to the floor. Grab the barbell off the floor with a false overhand grip (thumbs in line with the rest of your fingers) that’s slightly wider than shoulder width. Let the bar hang at arm’s length in front of you.

π

Retract your shoulder blades to start pulling the bar up to the lower part of your sternum (breastbone). Imagine that your arms are just along for the ride; otherwise, you’ll use them as the prime movers and get less of a workout for your middleback muscles. Pause at the top, with your chest sticking out toward the bar. Slowly return to the starting position. Try to keep your torso in the same position throughout the movement. That’s the purpose of the bent knees—they provide the suspension your torso needs to remain steady.

Alternate #2: Dumbbell Bent-Over Row π

Grab a pair of dumbbells with an underhand grip, and stand with your knees slightly bent. Bend over at the hips until your torso is almost parallel to the floor. Keep your lower back slightly arched.

π

Pull the weights up until they’re even with your lower rib cage and your elbows are higher than your torso. Keep your torso in the same position throughout, and maintain the slight bend in your knees.

Dumbbell Lunge Works the quads π

Grab a pair of dumbbells and hold them down at your sides. Stand with your feet hip-width apart.

π

Step forward with your nondominant leg (your left if you’re right-handed, your right if you’re left-handed) and lower your body until your front knee is bent 90 degrees and your other knee nearly touches the floor. Your front lower leg should be perpendicular to the floor, and your torso should remain upright.

π

Push yourself back up to the starting position as quickly as you can and repeat with your dominant leg. That’s one repetition.

π

Place a step in front of a bench, grab a pair of dumbbells, and sit down. Set the balls of both feet on the step, and place one dumbbell on each knee. Lower both heels as far as you can without touching the floor.

π

Push off the balls of your feet and lift your heels as high as you can.

π

Pause, then repeat.

Alternate: Barbell Seated Calf Raise π

Sit at the end of a bench with the balls of your feet on a step, a wooden block, or a couple of phone books about a foot in front of you. Put a towel or sweatshirt over the tops of your knees and rest a barbell across them. Hold it there with your hands. With your torso erect, allow your heels to drop as low as they’ll go.

π

Press back up to the balls of your feet. Pause, then return to the starting position.

Lie on your back on the floor, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your ears.

Raise your head and shoulders, and crunch your rib cage toward your pelvis. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position.

Barbell Romanian Deadlift Works the hamstrings and gluteals π

Grab the bar with an overhand grip that’s just beyond shoulderwidth. Stand holding the bar down at arm’s length and resting against the front of your thighs. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent, and your eyes focused straight ahead. π

Slowly bend at the hips as you lower the bar just below your knees. Don’t change the angle of your knees. Keep your head and chest up and your lower back flat or slightly arched. π

Lift your torso back to the starting position, keeping the bar as close to your body as possible.

Alternate: Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift π

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent, and two dumbbells hanging down at arm’s length in front of your thighs. Retract your shoulder blades and pull in your stomach.

π

Bend forward at the hips until the weights are at about midshin level and your torso is as close to parallel to the floor as possible. Pause, then press your heels against the floor as you lift your torso back to the starting position. Keep your back slightly arched throughout the exercise.

Pullup Works the back π

Hang from a pullup bar using an overhand grip that’s just beyond shoulder-width. Cross your ankles behind you.

π

Pull yourself up as high as you can—your chin should go over the bar.

π

Pause, then slowly lower yourself to the starting position.

22 T O T A L B O D Y W O R K O U T

Dip Works the triceps π

Grab the parallel bars on a dip station and lift yourself so that your arms are fully extended. Bend your knees and cross your ankles behind you.

π

Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.

π

Pause, then push yourself back to the starting position. Superset with chinups (do the exercises back to back; rest after completing a set of each).

Note: Use a weighted belt if you can do more than the recommended repetitions.

Grab a pair of dumbbells with a neutral grip, to maximize your triceps workload. Lie on a bench and extend both arms directly over your chest.

π

Lower the weights straight down toward your chest. (If you angle them outward, you’ll reduce the role of your triceps.) Bring your elbows past your sides and stop just before the weights touch your chest.

π Pause,

then press back to the

starting position.

Barbell Lunge Works the quads π

Stand holding a barbell across the trapezius muscles of your upper back, your feet hip-width apart.

π

Step forward with your nondominant leg (your left if you’re right-handed, your right if left-handed), and lower your body until your front knee is bent 90 degrees and your other knee nearly touches the floor. Your front lower leg should be perpendicular to the floor, and your torso should remain upright.

π

Return to the starting position as fast as you can; repeat with your dominant leg. That’s one repetition.
