We all have different goals when it comes to fitness; some of us want to get stronger, others want to lose weight, while some are keen to improve their overall fitness levels. If, however, you’re that person that wants it all, then this 20 minute full-body workout will do just that. Better still? You don’t need any home gym equipment, just get ready to lace up your best workout shoes.

You may be wondering ‘how can this workout make me stronger, fitter and burn calories?’. Well, despite this workout using bodyweight exercises this is still strength training – as long as your body has resistance to overcome it will increase strength and build muscle. The session also uses supersets (where you perform two exercises back-to-back with no rest) which not only ups the intensity of the workout and increases muscle activation, but according to Nike “can help you increase your stamina and endurance by keeping your heart rate higher for longer during a workout”.
