Who doesn't like summer? That time of year where we take the opportunity to do all those things we have been planning*. That trip that makes you disconnect from your routine, the endless afternoons at the pool or beach, the beers on the terrace... Many of us lower the frequency of our workouts to be able to enjoy friends and family more.
But after it passes, it's time to get back into the routine and get in shape again. In today's blog we are going to tell you 5 full body exercises to regain physical shape.
Devil Press
The Devil Press is the perfect exercise to get in shape. We only need some dumbbells to do it. By including this exercise in your routines you can significantly shorten your workouts, since in a single exercise you will work arms, shoulders, core, back, chest and legs.
Perfect for those days when you barely have time to train. This exercise basically consists of two movements known in the world of Cross Training: the dreaded burpees and the Ground To Overhead. It is important that when performing the burpee (you can also do a push-up) you touch your chest to the floor to perform the exercise correctly.

Wall Ball
A Wall Ball Shot, or better known in Spanish as a medicine ball throw, consists of a combination of movements: throwing a medicine ball upward and performing a squat.
To execute it, you will need to be near a wall with a minimum height of about 3 meters and a medicine ball that, depending on your level, will have one weight or another. It is a very complete exercise since it combines squats or "squats" with shoulder movement and also raises the heart rate.

Skipping
Jumping rope is another of the most complete exercises that you can implement in your routine. Not only is it a great cardiovascular exercise, but it also helps strengthen arms, legs and abdomen.
You can add difficulty and work by doing double unders, or even adding weights to the rope. This way the handles will be heavier and will help you gain strength in your forearms. This will be very useful for you to have a good grip.
There are plenty of explanations for performing a jump rope, but if you want to know all the benefits of this exercise, you can visit our specific blog on jump rope .
Cluster
The Cluster is another of the most complete exercises that you can include in your routine. It consists of two basic Cross Training movements, a clean followed by a thruster.
First of all, to do a cluster you have to do a squat clean, that is, a squat clean. It is important to note that you have to receive the bar in a squat. That is the main rule of this movement.
Secondly, and right after the squat clean that we just performed, we would have to perform a thruster. That is, from that squat position in which we have received the bar, we will have to go up with all the power we have until we carry the bar, vertically, above our head.

Rowing machine
Without a doubt this is another of the exercises that works the most muscles in the body. To perform this exercise you will need the rowing machine from your box or gym, and you will work both the lower and upper body.
If you have good technique and perform the movement properly, you will be working the muscles of your legs, glutes, arms, shoulders and back. A super complete exercise that will also make you burn a lot of calories!
