Full Body Workout at Home 

How it Works:

*Perform each exercise for 12 to 16 repetitions with enough weight that you can ONLY complete the desired number of repetitions.  
*If you're a beginner, start with one set and add a set after two weeks or so.  
*If you're an intermediate exerciser, do two sets of each exercise with 30-45 seconds of rest in between sets. 
* If you're advanced, do three sets of each exercise, with 30-45 seconds of rest. Warm up for at least 5 to 10 minutes before starting your weight training workout.
