Squeezing a workout into your daily routine can be pretty challenging for the busy working adult, particularly if you imagine a good workout to require very specific sets of equipment to perform certain exercises.
That doesn't always have to be true however, and if you’re looking for exercises that can be carried out just about anywhere, without having to look for tools and equipment to enhance your workout, this episode is made just for you.
No equipment? No problem. Check out these exercises with no equipment needed, brought to you by HAUS Athletics trainer, Samson Lau.
Exercise 1: Push-ups with Shoulder Taps
Get into a push-up position with your palms positioned slightly outside of the width of your shoulders.

Get down to a push-up and lift up one hand to tap your opposite shoulder. Repeat the exercise again, this time lifting up the alternate hand to tap on the other shoulder.

Assisted / Regression : Bring your knees to the ground
If you find a regular push-up too challenging to execute or have yet to build up on your upper body strength, consider a regression or the assisted version of the exercise with your knees on the ground.

Exercise 2: Surfer Squats
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Come down to a squat position before exploding upwards into a jump, turning your entire body 180 degrees to the opposite side and landing back down into a squat position.

Assisted Version / Regression :
Instead of jumping, use your leg to pivot and step to face the opposite side. Similar to the original version, start and end off in a squat position.
Pro Tip: Keep your chest up, position your heels firmly on the ground, brace your core, and land softly.
Exercise 3: Monster Burpee
The Monster Burpee is a cardio movement and an advanced version of the regular burpee.
Unlike the usual burpee, the monster burpee comprises:
A half burpee which ends in a half squat position after you jump into a plank position
A full burpee which ends off with a vertical jump
