This 15-Minute Full-Body Workout Is Perfect For Beginners

Time: 15 minutes

Equipment: Mat, resistance band

Good for: Total body

Instructions: Complete the reps as indicated, then immediately continue to the next exercise. Once you've finished all five moves, repeat the circuit over from the beginning. Do a total of three rounds. To build strength, I recommend doing this routine one or two times a week, and warming up with a few dynamic stretches . Once you've finished stretching, do the below three moves to really get your blood pumping. Repeat each three times, then start the workout.

Jumping jacks for 20 seconds: Begin standing with your legs hip-width apart and arms at your sides. Hop your feet out past shoulder-width while simultaneously bringing your arms overhead. Then return to start and repeat.
Butt kicks for 20 seconds: Alternate bringing the heel of one feet to the glute on the same side (to open up your hip flexors and quads).
Elbow presses for 20 seconds: Clasp your hands behind your head with elbows wide(to open the shoulders and chest), then squeeze your elbows together. Repeat for duration of time.

Leg Drop With Dumbbell Above Chest How to: Lie on your back with a dumbbell held in between your hands and extend your arms. (Think wrists over chest NOT your face.) Lift your legs up directly over your hips. Lower your left leg down as low as you can go without your lower back arching up off the mat. Return to start, and repeat on the other side. That's one rep. Complete 10 reps, then repeat the circuit from the top.
