If you have 10 minutes and just a few feet of floor space, this super-quick bodyweight workout is for you. We completely understand that it can feel impossible to fit a workout into your packed schedule, especially when it involves making your way to a gym on a particularly busy day. But we’ve got some pretty fantastic news: You don’t need much to do this intense and ultra-effective routine. Seriously, no dumbbells or fancy equipment, no gym membership, and no (real) time required. And believe us when we tell you that this workout will make you work, even in such a short amount of time.
Bodyweight workouts are also great because they build your lean muscle, which keeps your metabolism revving. Sounds good to us!
This workout helps you crank your fitness levels up a notch whether you’re at home, at the beach (if you should be so lucky), or anywhere in between. The four exercises will help activate the muscles that we don’t use when sitting at work, they’ll increase your heart rate, and they’ll fire up the abs and glutes, which are essential for a strong core and good posture.
Ready to dive in? Perform the whole workout once through a few times a week. If after a few weeks it starts to feel easy, perform it twice through. When you can do that, pat yourself on the back – that’s a sure sign all your hard work is paying off.
