No gym today? No problem. Busy mornings, long workdays and travel can knock any routine off track, but you don’t need weights or a membership to train well. All you need is 20 minutes, a little floor space and your favourite WATO set.

This full-body workout works your legs, glutes, core and upper body using only your bodyweight. Do it in your living room, a hotel room or out on the verandah.

How it works

Warm up for 3 minutes, then complete the circuit below. Do each move for 40 seconds, rest for 20 seconds, then move to the next. Complete the full circuit 3 times, then cool down.

New to exercise? Start with 30 seconds of work and 30 seconds of rest, and complete 2 rounds instead of 3.

Warm-up (3 minutes)

• March or jog on the spot: 1 minute
• Arm circles, forward and back: 30 seconds
• Hip circles: 30 seconds
• Bodyweight good mornings (hinge at the hips with a flat back): 1 minute

The circuit (3 rounds)

1. Squats. Feet shoulder-width apart, sit back as if into a chair, chest up, then drive through your heels to stand. Builds legs and glutes.
2. Push-ups. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels. Too tough? Drop to your knees or push off a sturdy counter. Works chest, shoulders and arms.
3. Glute bridges. Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat. Squeeze your glutes and lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees. Lower slowly.
4. Reverse lunges. Step one foot back and lower until both knees are bent at about 90 degrees. Alternate legs. Great for balance and lower-body strength.
5. Plank. Forearms on the floor, body straight, core tight. Breathe steadily and don’t let your hips sag.
6. Mountain climbers. From a high plank, drive your knees toward your chest one at a time. Go at a pace where your form stays clean. This one gets your heart rate up.

Cool-down (2–3 minutes)

Finish with slow stretches for your quads, hamstrings, hips, chest and shoulders. Hold each stretch for 20–30 seconds and breathe deeply.

Tips for better results

• Be consistent. Aim for this workout 3 times a week. Consistency beats intensity.
• Progress slowly. When it starts to feel easy, add a fourth round or increase work time to 45 seconds.
• Hydrate. In the Jamaican heat, drink water before, during and after training.
• Train early or late. Avoid the hottest part of the day, especially if you’re working out outdoors.
• Wear the right gear. Supportive, breathable activewear lets you move freely and stay comfortable through every rep.
