Forget running — do this 25 minute dumbbell workout to lose weight and build muscle

Man doing dumbbell workout

Busy schedule holding you back from being able to workout? Make full body workouts your new best friend. They’re brilliant when you don’t have time to cram in four training sessions a week, as they still target all your body’s important muscle groups. But what’s even better than a full body workout? This one which takes less than 30 minutes and is designed to build lean muscle and increase your strength. And all you’re going to need are a pair of regular dumbbells or adjustable dumbbells.

Incorporating weights, like dumbbells, into your workouts can help you build lean muscle mass, as well as burn fat. They’re beginner-friendly and, unlike with a barbell, dumbbells are great at helping reduce any muscular imbalances, which can prevent injuries occurring where one side of your body may overcompensate for the other.
