Sometimes life gets busy—and that’s exactly what equipment-free, 15-minute workouts are for. Self reports that Jennifer Garner‘s trainer Valerie Waters is definitely aware of the struggle that is being #girlboss with a jam-packed schedule. Her routine that’ll raise your heart rate and leave you time to cross off everything else on your to-do list might be the first miracle of 2018.

“You can do this circuit three times and call it a day, or you could add an upper body or abs circuit for a more full-body workout,” Waters wrote in the caption of a recent Instagram video. “No matter what, you’ll get a nice quick sweat and be reminded once again that you’re always one workout away from a good mood.”

When you’re ready to get started, all the bodyweight workout involves is four simple equipment-free exercises you can do anywhere: side to sides (10 to 20 reps on each side), half jacks (10 to 20 reps), lunge kicks (10 to 20 reps on each leg), Bruce Lee kicks (10 to 20 on each leg), and curtsy lunges (10 to 15 on each leg). Sounds doable, right?

So, the next time you’re thinking about slacking off on your goals this year, pull up Waters’ routine. Everyone can spare 15 minutes to better their health.
