You'll build muscle and supercharge your metabolism.

This workout from trainer Andy Speer, creator of the

Directions: Perform the exercises in the order listed for one minute each.

1. Do as many close-grip pushups as you can in 60 seconds. With your hands this close together (your thumbs and index fingers should form a triangle), you'll smoke your triceps and also put less stress on your shoulders, which is important for avoiding overuse injuries.

2. Hold the hollow-body diamond plank for 60 seconds. Get into a close-grip pushup plank position, and round your back so your core is hollowed out. Your abs and even your triceps will feel the burn.

That's one round. Do 3 to 5 rounds to reap this workout's maximum benefits.

Add this circuit into your regular routine for a quick, high-intensity workout that will do double-duty by sculpting your abs and arms, and giving you more energy to power through the rest of your gym session and the rest of your day. You'll see and feel the results in no time.
