Build muscle and save time with this 40-minute antagonistic superset workout

You need a full-body workout that you can fly through in the gym in less than an hour, but still packs a muscle-building punch – this six-move superset workout from Sweat App trainer, Brittany Williams, is just what you need. Just grab a couple of dumbbells off the rack, head to a corner of the gym with some free space, keep your phone in your pocket, and get ready to put some solid graft in.

It uses antagonistic supersets, which is where you pair two exercises that target opposing muscle groups back-to-back. This means one muscle group can rest while another is being worked, so you can reduce your rest time and get through your workout quicker. Supersets aren’t just beneficial for boosting training volume for muscle growth, a study has shown that they can increase the amount of calories your body burns after your workout has ended, more so than traditional resistance training.
