Men's Fitness

This is the Do-Anywhere Bodyweight Program, a series of circuits designed to give you a solid cardio and strength-training workout regardless of time, space, and resources.

Consider this your foolproof legs workout whenever you’re traveling, under a time crunch, or trying to sneak in a workout over the holidays. All you need is a sturdy ledge or box to light up your calves, quads, and hamstrings.

How to do it

Complete 4 rounds with little to no rest between exercises, and a 1-minute rest between sets.

This is meant to be done in circuit form so you can get a cardiovascular benefit from strength training without having to do actual endurance work. You can perform this workout up to twice weekly.

Here, Men’s Fitness editor Brittany Smith demonstrates how to do the circuit.

Program designed by Liz Lowe, C.S.C.S., head program designer at Scorch Fitness, a high-intensity interval training gym in Sarasota, FL.
