12 Workouts You Can Do in Only 5 Minutes (Yep, 5!)

Spending an hour at the gym can be a great way to get blissed-out before heading to the office or to unwind after a long day. But sometimes (read: often) you don’t have an hour to spare. That’s why the 12 workout videos in our playlist below, led by Women’s Health fitness director Jen Ator, C.S.C.S., author of the book Shape-Up Shortcuts (published by Women’s Health’s parent company, Rodale), are about to become your secret weapons. Each of the muscle-toning cardio workouts they feature is only five minutes long. FIVE. MINUTES. LONG. Yes, ma’am.

Try out just one, or keep moving through our playlist for 10, 15, 20 minutes, or longer. Who knows? Once you get started, you may not want to stop!
