This 20-Minute Full-Body Workout Will Give You Results in Just 4 Weeks

Tone your body with our strength training exercises

When it comes to setting fitness priorities, toning ex­ercises should be high on your list—and for good reason: Strong, shapely muscles give you a slimmer look by im­proving your posture and tightening your torso. Recent studies show that whole body strength training exercises help stave off stubborn belly fat, control dia­betes, and reverse muscle aging. (Here are some secrets your weight-loss trainer won’t tell you.)

Get started with this 20-minute toning regimen. It targets muscles in your arms, chest, abs, back, butt, and legs. If you do these exercises twice a week or more, ­taking at least one day off between workouts, you’ll be­gin to see results in as little as four weeks.
