Try This Free Arms & Abs Workout From WH's New 20-Minute Muscle Program
The only thing better than a 20-minute workout (short and sweet!) is one that sculpts your arms and abs at the same time.
That's exactly what you'll get with this preview workout from Women's Health and Men's Health's new 20-Minute Muscle program. (Women's Health+ Premium members, you can score access to the entire series—lower body, upper body, and total body workouts—via All/Out Studio, a perk of your membership tier.)
Certified personal trainers Nellie Barnett and Mathew Forzaglia's 20-minute arms and abs workout in the video above will give you a taste for what the program entails. "The first circuit of that workout is extra spicy!" Barnett teases—and yes, that was intentional. "It gets the blood pumping and upper body and core fully engaged." Count me in.

The only thing better than scoring strong, sculpted arms and abs is getting all that work in at the same time. That's why Women's Health and Men's Health teamed up to create the new 20-Minute Muscle program on the All/Out Studio app, free to access for Women's Health+ Premium members.
Nellie Barnett, CPT and Mathew Forzaglia, CPT, programmed their 20-Minute Muscle workouts in a circuit style, with three blocks of three movements performed back-to-back. Each exercise in a circuit targets a different muscle group, meaning you'll be able to power through each one with minimal rest—and you'll get all that work done in, you guessed it, just 20 minutes.
