For those wanting a full-body workout that allows for maximum calorie burning, this is your answer.

You’ll do each exercise in the routine for one full minute, including jumping-jack squats, Pilates and abs moves as well as triceps push-ups, mountain climbers and lunges. But the little timer on the screen makes the seconds seem much more manageable and keeps you motivated until you reach the finish line.
