Full body workout in less than 5 minutes

You’ll do 8 exercises for 20 seconds, with 10 second breaks in between. You can mix and match exercises according to your fitness level. It’s not a substitute for a trip to the gym, but it’s certainly better than nothing. Here are the steps to follow:

Do as many push-ups as you can in 20 seconds. It works the chest, shoulders, abs, and biceps and/or triceps. As you get better, you can also vary the push up routine. Rest for 10 seconds.

 Do the mountain climber for 20 seconds. This will work your core and legs, as well as your lungs. From the push-up position, bring one leg forward to your chest and put your weight on it briefly. Switch with the other leg. Repeat swiftly. Rest for 10 seconds.

 Do reverse rope pulls for 20 seconds. This is done to work your upper back. If you don’t have the means to do this, replace it with another upper back exercise. One option is Pilates. Rest for 10 seconds.

Do burpees for 20 seconds. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bring your hands down to the floor. Send your feet back and come down to a push-up position. Bring your feet back forward and stand up. Or jump up for extra work on your legs!
