If you want to build muscle strength but can't make it to the gym, there are options. Using only your own body weight, you can tone your muscles, strengthen your core, and get your heart rate up.

This routine, created by fitness trainer FitByMik, is perfect for when you're on the go and short on time; YouTube is a great place to find workouts, and I always enjoy the sessions on Mikala's channel.

You can do it anywhere you have space to spread out your best yoga mat, and it not only works all the muscles in your body, but also gets your heart pumping, boosts your metabolism, and improves your cardiopulmonary function.

During the workout, work for 45 seconds and rest for 15 seconds. Mikala demonstrates the movements that come up during the rest, and also works with you during the workout set to give you tips on form.

The video also includes a brief warm-up and cool-down, which is worth doing if you have the time.

Each movement is done for 45 seconds each, so the sets are quite long. Instead, focus on using the correct form and using the correct muscles. If you move with control, you will definitely feel your muscles burning by the end of the 45 seconds.

Of course, if you are already experienced in working out and want to push harder, you can always go faster, as long as you keep your form correct. Also, if you have weights handy, you can introduce weights to progress your workout exercises.

[14] Mikala has designed this workout to be low-impact. This means that there are no burpees or other jumping exercises, which puts a little more stress on the joints while still strengthening the joints and a wide range of muscles. Because different muscle groups throughout the body are targeted during the session, the exercises are varied and the time passes quickly.

If you have weights and want to workout without floor-based movements, you can try a 15-minute full-body workout with dumbbells instead, or this 30-minute body weight workout is another great option to get in shape without equipment! .
