The Summer Total Body Workout Plan

For a lot of us, this past winter was the season of hibernation. Now that it’s June, the official start of summer is only days away. This, of course, calls for trips to the beach, cocktails on the porch and barbecues on the weekends. While this all sounds like the perfect start to a memorable summer, low self-esteem can ruin the enjoyment of trading winter layers for a summer-inspired wardrobe. To bring that summer bliss back, we have culled six (three for men and three for women) of our favorite total body workouts to inspire your clients to gain the confidence that they so deserve to enjoy one of the best seasons of the year. And, you can help them burn more calories with these kettlebell moves!

According to the staff at Muscle and Fitness, “A lot of guys go into the gym, push it as hard as they can for days or weeks at a time, then slow down when they either start to feel burned out or find themselves hampered by nagging injuries.
