Forget running — it only takes these 5 exercises to sculpt your lower body and abs

A photo of man's strong core muscles.

We all know that running is great when it comes to working on your lower body, abs, and cardiovascular fitness, but if you’re injured, or unable to run, what can you do instead? Carve 25 minutes out of your day and get ready to work up a sweat, as we’ve found a workout that’ll get your heart rate up. 

The workout, created by personal trainer and home workout expert Matty Fox, can be done from just about anywhere. You’ll get your heart rate up, and the five exercises involved are compound exercises, meaning you’re working multiple muscle groups at the same time. The workout can be done using just your body weight, so put your best kettlebells and best adjustable dumbbells to one side for this one.
