Aside from being super efficient, this 5-minute workout requires no equipment. It can be done wherever you are, whether that’s a tiny hotel room, in your apartment, or outside at a park or a beach. Bodyweight workouts like this are a plus because they help you get some movement in any time, anywhere. Benefits: You’ll get your heart rate up during this exercise, and your legs will burn like crazy. Plyometric exercises like snowboarder jumps are also great for coordination. Modified version: Rather than dropping to your knees to modify this exercise, place your hands on an elevated surface instead (such as a countertop or bench). The lower the surface, the harder the exercise will be. Benefits: This move doubles as an upper body and core exercise, for maximum efficiency. And there you have it! A 5-minute workout that challenges your legs, core, and arms.
