So you’ve decided that you want to start working out in the morning…welcome to team #upnout. Since mornings are hectic enough, don’t waste precious time (or sleep!) thinking about what routine you should do once you drag yourself out of bed. Do the one below! This speedy circuit is all about your abs—pair it with a high-protein breakfast and you’re good to go.

The Workout:

If you’re short on time, do these moves then hop in the shower and get ready for work. If you have extra time, add the circuit to the end of a total-body workout.

• Lateral Plank Walks — 30 seconds
• Forearm Side Plank With Twist (Right Side) — 30 seconds
• Warrior Balance (Right Side) — 30 seconds
• Forearm Side Plank With A Twist (Left Side) — 30 seconds
• Warrior Balance (Left Side) — 30 seconds

Do as many reps of each exercise as you can in the allotted time. Repeat this circuit a total of four times for a 10-minute routine, and take breaks whenever you need!
