No gym? No problem. Instead, hit the sand (or anywhere!) with this routine from Emily Skye, Women's Health cover star, Instagram sensation, and soon-to-be mom. Embrace Emily's strong-not-skinny philosophy by doing this circuit three times a week in this order: Perform each exercise for 40 seconds, then rest for 20 seconds before moving on to the next. After doing all five moves, rest for one minute, then repeat five times for six total rounds.
