Forget running – build leg strength and burn calories with this bodyweight workout

Everyone may be lacing up their running shoes and learning to run a 5K right now, but that doesn't mean you have to. Yes, running may be one of the best forms of cardio to crunch calories and help you lose weight, but if it's not for you then there's other options out there, like this speedy six-move circuit. It may not require any equipment, but we can guarantee it'll get your heart racing. 

Circuit training provides an effective cardio workout as exercises are performed with little to no rest in between, boosting your heart health, lung capacity and endurance. They also work multiple muscles coherently, known as compound exercises which, also elevate your heart rate, helping burn lots of calories. But they're also great for building strength, coordination and balance, which is exactly what this workout will do.
