Combining strength training and cardio in the same workout is a fantastic way to multitask. From increasing endurance to blasting calories to building lean muscle to gaining strength, consider the two a perfect pair.

Strength training builds muscle, which can help boost your metabolism and burn more calories at rest, according to the Mayo Clinic. Cardio, on the other hand, is amazing for supporting heart health, burning calories and increasing the "feel good hormones," such as serotonin, according to a April 2019 study published in Preventative Medicine.

So grab your jump rope and a set of dumbbells and get ready for a heart-pumping, strength building, fat-blasting workout!

Do: each of the exercises below, alternating between jumping rope for 30 to 60 seconds and performing 15 reps of the dumbbell exercise listed. Rest for 30 to 60 seconds before repeating the circuit once more.

The curling motion can be performed three ways: alternating arms, both arms at the same time or one arm at a time.

Don't let your knees go forwards past your toes.
