From lazy days at the beach to barbecue pool parties, this warmer time of year is all about enjoying the outdoors — preferably in a gorgeous swimsuit. And if you're feeling the added desire to break a sweat before you show off your chiseled abs in a bikini by the water à la Adriana Lima, we have a fast and easy fitness solution for you, courtesy of Puerto Rican personal trainer Idalis Velazquez.

We recently spoke to the fitness guru — who is currently working in partnership with Unilever on its empowering #100PorCientoTu campaign — about a quick, anytime workout everyone can do to stay healthy, flexible, and toned. She recommends that you do 10-20 reps of each of the following five exercises with little to no rest in between. When you've made it through one round (you've got this!), take a 60-second break and push through it all again three to six times.

The best part? You don't even need a gym. So grab your headphones, turn up our ultimate workout playlist, and keep scrolling to get this sweat session started.
