In ' very general ' terms a good FBW has some of these characterisitcs......
- lift weights ( or any resistance training ) 3X a week, on non-consecutive days i.e MON, WED, FRI
- you try and train your " full body " during each workout - i.e butt, thighs, hamstrings, calves, chest, back, shoulders, biceps / triceps either directly or indirectly.
- try and keep your weight workout from 45 minutes to no longer than 1 hour
- select exercise order working the muscles from the ground up & from the center of your body outward.
- do lower body exercises followed by upper body exercises
- from the center of your body outward for lower body order - butt, thighs, hamstrings, calves
- from the center of your body outward for upper body order - chest, back, shoulders, biceps / triceps.
- given a choice where to allocate extra time, focus ' primarily on the " Big 3 " of legs, back and chest
- so, if you do multiple exercises for any given muscle, structure your routine and exercise volume around those 3 as they are the largest muscles in your body
- after 3 - 6 months of FBW workout training , you can train more often per week ( i.e 4X +++ ) which usually means adding more exercises.
...again, that is just a quick overview of some of the more basic condepts - you can make a FBW as simple or as complicated as you want.

No worries.
After spending some time on the weight loss forum and quickly confirming how little I really know about weight loss....... I thought I might as well check out this forum and confirm how little I also know about training.
