Summer is just around the corner, and you know what that means — beaches, boating, barbecues — and I know you're dying to fit into that cute bikini you just saw at the mall.

If you're like a lot of people, you might not always have time to make it to the gym, but there's no reason you can't still get in shape. I've put together a short workout that you can do in the comfort of your own home — no equipment needed.

I've divided the workout into four circuits, and you can customize the number of sets, according to your level of experience. Any way you do it, you're sure to look great this beach season.
