Up your fitness game with this 15-minute full-body workout

Everybody, move your body! This song from the yesteryear’s (Backstreet Boys, you got that right) could very well be our fitness mantra. We are constantly complaining about the lack of time, and that also impacts our exercise routine. More often than not, we end up missing out on our workouts, because what’s the point of short workouts, right? Well no, even a 15-minute full body workout can help you with strength, stability, and stretching. And who else to guide us better than celebrity nutritionist and exercise science expert Rujuta Diwekar?

In her recent Instagram post, Diwekar has created a simple and effective exercise plan that can be performed by everyone, irrespective of their fitness levels. You can either do these exercises independently, as an addition to any other exercise you are already doing.
