Used them effectively, they can more than double your workout efficiency without taking away quality.
It’s also the only way you can have a compact workout that’ll still burn calories, tone up, and build strength and muscle.
3 Exercises to Blas Your Whole Body
The three exercises in this workout all have different primary target muscles, but also enlist the full body in the movements.
You’ll cover calorie-burning in burpees, while also putting your core and the largest lower body muscles, and hamstrings to use.
The dumbbell sumo squat works your glutes, thighs, and core. But because you are incorporating a dumbbell into this move, you are engaging your arms and back.
The last exercise, bicycle crunch is one ab workout that’s scientifically proven to bring the most ab and oblique activation.
If your stomach is your problem area, it’s one exercise that brings attention to your trunk and enables your waist to slim down.
Below, you’ll learn how to perform each exercise step-by-step.
To complete this 15-minute workout, you’ll be performing each exercise for 45 seconds and rest for 15 seconds. After the rest, you move on to the next. Once you complete all 3 exercises, you take a minute rest before you begin the next set.
