If you thought a lack of time meant you could skip leg day, think again. This five-move workout will hit your glutes, hamstrings, calves and quads, hard in no more than 20 minutes. If you own a pair of dumbbells, then you can crush this session from the comfort of your living room, as it's the only piece of equipment you’ll need. Or, if you’re a complete beginner, you can just use your bodyweight.

We get it, training upper body is a favourite for many – nothing quite beats walking around with pumped up arms and shoulders. But ‘accidentally’ forgetting to train your lower body will only do you a disservice in the long run. Strong legs and glutes are essential for balance, stability, and injury prevention (looking at you, lower back pain). Not to mention, will even help you get more from your upper body exercises, as it provides a stable base for your body to drive power from.
