When looking for a workout to fit in over the festive season, your best bet is opting for a full-body workout, as these target all the muscle groups in your body. They’re also beginner-friendly and quick too, like this 15-minute one, which is perfect for amplifying full-body strength and burning calories. Just grab a pair of dumbbells, two large water bottles, or even a single kettlebell.

Full-body workouts often consist of compound exercises, which are not only great for building strength and muscle, but also improving your cardiovascular fitness. This is because the exercises raise your heart rate more than isolation exercises, which then result in a higher calorie burn.
