If you’re traveling for the holidays, you might not have time to fit in your normal strength session in the gym, but don’t worry, here on the Tom’s Guide fitness desk, we have your back. Looking to build full-body strength, it only takes one dumbbell (or kettlebell) and these five exercises to do so. Read on to find out more. 

As always, it’s important to flag that if you’re new to exercise, you’re returning to exercise following an injury or pregnancy, this might not be the right workout for you and your body. It’s always a good idea to check with a personal trainer or your doctor before taking on a new workout routine. If in any doubt, ask a personal trainer to take a look at your form before adding weight to the workout.
