No time to exercise? Let this low-impact, bodyweight, full-body workout change your mind

You're busy; we're busy – everyone's busy. That shouldn't stop you from exercising, though, since thousands of fast and effective workouts are available to try to get and stay fit. Look at this no-jump, no-repeat bodyweight home exercise routine: it's quick, will get you sweating and won't bother the neighbours, either.

Full-body workouts come in many shapes and sizes; some are long and use home gym equipment like barbells and dumbbells, while others are short and sweet and require nothing more than a bit of willpower. The best full-body workout sits between the two: it has significant muscle-building potential and uses only five exercises. Others, like the best push-pull-legs routine, are a bit more elaborate but allow you to work out almost daily.

This 10-minute, no-repeat full-body workout uses bodyweight exercises only and will get you to do each movement for 45 seconds, followed by a 15-second rest. The low-impact nature means you can potentially skip the warm-up, although we'd recommend not doing so – stretching is beneficial for mobility, general well-being and more. You won't need any equipment, but we'd suggest using an exercise or yoga mat for added comfort. The exercises featured in this workout are:

• Ice skaters
• Squat into alternating reverse lunge
• Modified burpee (no jump)
• Bicycle crunch
• Crab knee/toe touches
• Sit-ups with punches
• Plank rotation
• Squat with alternating knee drive/toe touch
• Modified pp and overs (no jump)
• Standing oblique twists with knee drive/toe-touch
