Don’t be mistaken in thinking you need to head to the gym and use fancy machines to train your legs, you don’t! You can use free weights, like a pair of dumbbells, and just your bodyweight, like this workout does, which will take you no longer than 20 minutes to complete. Better still, it uses supersets to help increase muscle activation.
Supersets are when you do two exercises back-to-back without any rest, so you can pack more into your workout in less time. These shorter rest periods don't just lead to greater muscle activation, but they can also help reduce body fat too. According to Nuffield Health: "When we complete supersets, the amount of rest we have relative to the amount of work we are doing is small, which means the cardiovascular system (heart) is working extra hard throughout. This high metabolic demand is great for burning calories and therefore fat loss."
