When you only have 10 minutes to work out, you have to bring your all! That's why we added some plyo moves to this short sweat sesh. Don't worry, you'll work your arms and your abs as well as your legs.

Full-Body Workout

Equipment needed: None

Directions: After warming up with two minutes of light cardio (find inspiration here [1]), perform each exercise for 45 seconds, keeping good form, before moving to the next. Repeat the circuit twice through.

Exercises:

• Side skater
• Lunge hop
• Oblique mountain climber
• Tabletop crunch with reach
• Seated Russian twist with punch

Keep reading for a detailed description of each of these moves.

Side Skater

Get your heart rate up as you jump from side to side.

• Start in a small squat. Jump sideways to the right, landing on your right leg. Bring your left leg behind you, but don't let it touch the floor.
• Reverse direction by jumping to the left with your left leg, allowing your arms to swing to build up momentum.

Lunge Hop

This is one of the safest ways to do jump lunges; taking that hop together between full lunges can decrease the force on the knee joint.

• Bounce on the balls of your feet, jumping into a lunge with your left knee forward.
• Jump your feet together and switch sides, bringing the right knee forward.
• Stay light on your feet throughout this exercise.

Oblique Mountain Climber

Work your obliques with this mountain-climber variation.

• Start in plank position. Bring your left knee to your left elbow.
• Jump your left leg back to plank position while bringing your right knee to your right elbow.
• Continue alternating sides; move quickly but with control.

Tabletop Crunch With Leg Reach

We love this exercises since it works your abs in both a shortened (during the crunch) and lengthened (in the reach) positions.

• Start lying on your back with your hips and knees bent to 90 degrees in a tabletop position. Lift your upper back and head off the mat, reaching your fingers toward your toes.
• Lengthen your legs away from your centre as you lower your upper body, reaching your arms overhead. Keep your low back pressing into the floor as you straighten your legs.
• Bend your legs back into tabletop position as you lift your upper body off the floor and reach your hands toward your toes.

Russian Twist

Adding the punch to this ab exercise will actually make you twist more so your abs work even more!

• Sit on the ground with your knees bent and your heels about a foot and a half from your butt. Lean slightly back, and lift your feet a few inches off the ground without rounding your spine.
• Twist your torso to the left, punching with your right arm. This completes one rep. Twist to the right and punch with the left arm, and continue alternating sides.
