Jumping jacks and jump rope

"When you hit a slump at 2 p.m., find a place to jump
for five minutes and completely recharge your energy," A jump rope is easy to pack and the all-over workout it provides replaces the nap you don't have time for.

Planks and pushups

Five minutes of effective core exercise delivers an intense workout. Keep abs tight and tucked, and your breathing steady. Do some planks and pushups before jumping in the shower, or anytime the TV is on.

Split squats

Square your hips, take a big step forward, place your hands
on your front thigh, and slowly lower your body until your back knee hovers just above the ground. Your front knee should not extend past your toes. Push up from the heel of your front foot until your back leg is almost straight, then repeat.

Ab tucks

Stuck in a long presentation? Exhale and pull in your belly
button toward your spine. Hold for a beat, release while inhaling, and repeat. This move strengthens your back and tightens your stomach.

Wall sits

This isometric workout strengthens hamstrings, quads and
glutes. Put your back flat against a wall, slide your body down to a sitting position and move your feet out so your knees are at a 90-degree angle to your body and don't extend past your toes. Place your hands gently on your thighs and hold this position for at least 30 seconds. Push your weight against the wall to stand.

Side lunges

Place your hands lightly on your hips, keep your abs tight,
take a big step out to the side and lower your body straight to the ground. Keep the opposite leg straight and pull up through that leg. Do 15 on each side and repeat.
