Working out during your lunch break always sounds like a great idea. That is until you realize there isn’t enough time to shower and get ready all over again—dry shampoo can only work so many miracles.

The lunchtime solution is a quick routine that works your entire body in 10 minutes. That should leave you with plenty of time to rinse off, but there aren’t any high-intensity, sweat-inducing cardio moves included in workout, developed for SELF by Jessica Bolbach, owner of NYC fitness studio KORE, in case you want to skip a shower entirely. When you’re done training, you’ll be feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the afternoon—and your co-workers won’t smell a thing.

Head to the gym or find some green space outdoors and get to work. This routine doesn’t require any equipment so you can do it anywhere that works best for you. Time staaaarts…now!

How To Do The Workout: Perform each move for two minutes, taking 30-second break after each exercise.

Do as many reps as you can in the allotted time. 

1. Bodyweight Squats — 2 minutes
