If you don't have much time to work out, it’s easy to feel like it's not worth bothering at all. But regular, short bursts of exercise can still have a big impact on both physical and mental health.

Barre instructor Mara Cimatoribus recently shared a lower-body routine for people who don't have a lot of time to exercise but still want to move their bodies. It doesn't require you to have any equipment, either.
