My favorite 5 minute routines are the ones that focus on abs. Since Fridays are my easy days, it fits perfectly focusing on the muscle group that doesn’t need too much time for recovery. You can work your abs daily and rarely suffer from any post exercise muscle soreness. You can also use these short routines as a bonus after your full length workouts if you’re feeling ambitious.

If you don’t have a pull up bar for the hanging leg raises, you can do laying leg raises instead. It won’t be as intense, but it’s working the same muscles. The Russian twist can be also done with a dumbbell, but pick a heavier one. The 5 reps should feel really challenging. If this workout turns out to be too easy because you don’t have the right equipment, make it a 15 minute AMRAP.
