If you have limited time to workout, then your best bet is to opt for a full-body workout, like this one. Not only is it  time efficient (it will only take you 30 minutes), but it will target all the major muscle groups in your body, so nothing get’s left behind – perfecto. Just grab apair of dumbbells,two kettlebells, or fill up two bottles of water – you pick!

As well as an effective way to develop strength and muscle, full-body workouts are also an excellent way to burn lots of calories. This is because they’re made up ofcompound exercises, which are exercises that work multiple muscles at one, like squats or push-ups. “Exercises that use more muscle tissue also eat up more oxygen, which helps you burn more calories overall,” saysMyFitnessPal. While, according to theAmerican Council of Exercise, this also increases EPOC levels (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption), so you continue to burn calories even once you’ve stopped exercising.

If you enjoyed this workout then there’s plenty more where that came from! Need something a little shorter? Try thisfour-move full-body workout, you’ll also need a pair of dumbbells for it. If, however, you do have more time to spare here’s another30 minute workout, but this time you’ll only need one dumbbell (or you could even use a single kettlebell) which is great for building muscle.
