The Routine
To do this full-body routine, designed by Tara Zimliki, a trainer in Branchburg, New Jersey, you need only a watch and two small water bottles. Complete as many reps of each exercise as you can in the specified time.

Move 1: Warm-Up
1 minute
To get your muscles ready to work, perform eight slow circles with your neck in a clockwise direction. Continue with eight circles each for both arms (keep them straight), wrists, and legs (bend at the knee and move from the hip). Repeat the sequence, but this time rotate each body part counterclockwise eight times.

Move 2: Jumping Jacks
3 minutes
Remember to keep your arms straight as you bring them up to your ears with each jump.

Move 3: Wall Mountain Climber
3 minutes
Place hands on a wall, arms straight, leaning your body at an angle. Step forward with right foot (near right).

Quickly switch feet (far right), simultaneously bringing left foot forward and right foot back. Repeat.
