This dumbbell workout hits every major muscle group in just 20 minutes

A woman performs a weighted dumbbell squat at home on a yoga mat. Her legs are bent, knees pointing outwards and her arms hold dumbbells straight out in front. Behind her we see chairs, potted plants and a couch.

One of the things I love most about compound exercises is how many muscles they activate at once making them incredibly efficient. When you throw in some twists on classic moves— like adding a rotational press to a squat—it keeps things varied, fun and challenging.

This 20-minute workout by personal trainer Britany Williams ticks all the boxes for me. It's a short and sweet circuit designed to work the whole body. Scroll down to see the moves and learn how to do it.
