When you're strength training, the goal is typically to work out your whole body. And while people tend to think of whole-body exercises as those that work the upper body, lower body, and core, there's more to it than just that. When I program exercises for a client and I'm looking to target the full body, I look for exercises that combine different movement patterns (i.e. squat, hinge, push, pull, and rotation) and work through multiple planes of motion (transverse, sagittal, and frontal). The goal is to functionally train the whole body. Gil Ortiz, a NASM-certified Fitness Development . . .
