Three quick plyometric moves will give you a challenging workout, all under five minutes. "These jumping exercises increase metabolism, burn fat, and tone legs," said Ramona. Since there's no equipment involved, you can do these moves anywhere you are, in your living room or at the gym, or even in your bedroom if there's a little bit of space to move.

- Begin standing facing a wall, and lower down to a deep squat. Keep your eyes looking upwards (toward a high point on the wall) and hands by your side.
- Spring straight up, reaching with hands as high as you can (you can try to touch a high point on the wall). Land softly. This completes one rep.
- Repeat 10 times to complete a set. Rest for 10 seconds then perform two more sets.
