You may think your first step to getting fitter and stronger is joining a gym, but it doesn’t need to be. With just a set of dumbbells, you can tick both these boxes from the comfort of your home, and top personal trainer, James Stirling, has shared a quick 25 minute workout to prove it.
“The sets and exercises give enough time for each muscle to recover before you hit again, whilst keeping intensity high to get a lot of work done in a short time!,” he writes. “It makes it a great workout for people short on time.” It follows a circuit format – where you exercise for a set amount of time, followed by a short period of rest – helping your heart rate stay high, as well as including compound exercises to hit major muscle groups at once.
