Head to Toe workouts should start somewhere with your legs.
Should involve upper body strength. Compound moves are always a bonus (integrating upper and lower or more than one focus area)
speed or timed intervals are always a plus to get the biggest burn.
Core training should always be the icing at the end of your workout.
Have you ever hear of HIIT workouts. High Intensity Interval Training.
Les Mills Grit is a HIIT workout. 30 minutes and intense. Thanks to our Club photographer at Universal Athletic Club where I get to not only coach but be coached in Grit my fitness level has reached new heights. Look for club near you if you are ready to take your fitness to the next level.

Push ups, on your knees or toes. You can start by doing them on a wall, a bench. Lying down on a bench or floor and pressing a bar or weight is a great place to start.
Stationary or stepping lunges are great to strengthen your legs. We all need to be able to get up and down every day. Keep your legs moving well.
Your core is too important not to train. Crunches alone will not do the job. Find a variety of moves to keep your core working. Hovers and planks are key to a stronger core but take time to master. We all have to start somewhere. Just need to keep moving.

What training feels like when you're done. Notice I said training. Pick and choose which days to go hard but don't do it every time.
