No gym, no problem. Whether you skipped your membership or just can't be bothered to leave the house today, these 5 workouts will get your core working, your heart pumping, and your belly fat on notice. All you need is a little floor space and the audacity to start.

01

HIIT

Go hard, rest, repeat. High-Intensity Interval Training is basically the cheat code of cardio. Short bursts of all-out effort followed by rest periods keep your metabolism fired up long after you stop moving. Science backs it, your body will feel it.

02

Crunches

Yes, crunches. They are not glamorous but they work. This is the OG ab move for a reason. Keep your neck relaxed and let your core carry the load. Do them right and you will feel it in exactly the right place.

03

Plank

You are literally just lying there. Except your entire body is screaming. The plank works your abs, back, and shoulders all at once without a single rep. Start at 30 seconds and work your way up. It gets humbling fast.

04

Mountain Climbers

Plank meets cardio and it is a lot. Start in a plank position and drive your knees in toward your chest, alternating as fast as you can while keeping your form tight. Your core, your legs, your lungs. All in.

05

Jumping Jacks

Do not sleep on jumping jacks. They look basic but they get your heart rate up faster than you expect. Throw them in between exercises as an active rest or run a full 60-second set on its own. Either way, you will be breathing hard by the end.

Put it together

Mix these five into your weekly routine and your body will start to respond. Drink water, stretch it out before and after, and give yourself credit for showing up. That part matters more than people think.
