If you’ve decided you want to be fit and healthier in 2024, but you struggle to actually find the time to train, then this five-minute lower body circuit is for you. Not only will compound exercises help build strength and muscle in your legs, but they’ll also up your heart rate and burn lots of calories. You can use just your bodyweight, or if you want to create more of a burn, add some weights into the equation, it could be two dumbbells, a kettlebell, or even a weighted vest – you choose!

Circuit training is ideal for those with little time to train but are keen to keep fit and active. According to TRAINFitness, it can burn lots of calories in a short time frame and can continue to do so even once you've finished your workout. This circuit also consists of strength training exercises, so your muscles are placed under constant tension, which is key in order to help them grow.
