Your fitness journey doesn't need to start in the gym, it can start right now in the comfort of your own home with a pair of dumbbells and this 25 minute full-body workout. Not only is it ideal for beginners, but it's perfect if you’re looking to build base strength and muscle, as it'll target your entire body. Just lace up your best workout shoes and if you don't own any dumbbells, grab two gallon water bottles instead.
According to Chris Hemsworth's fitness app Centr: "Full-body workouts are a great way to ensure you are training all muscle groups and building a balanced body." But they don't just develop strength and muscle, they're great cardio workouts too. This is because full-body workouts consist of compound exercises (that work multiple muscles at the same time). As more muscles are used your body needs to oxygenate them, which raises your heart rate to enable blood flow.
