Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon's fitness trainer shares no-gym ‘10-minute workout for busy people’: Do it whenever, wherever
Celebrity trainer Karan Sawhney debunks the 'too busy' excuse with a simple 10-minute routine. The best part? None of these five exercises require a gym.
Published on: Apr 13, 2026 9:28 AM IST By Sanya Panwar Share via Copy link For those who claim their calendar is too crowded for the gym, the trainer behind some of Bollywood’s most fit physiques has a reality check. Karan Sawhney, the co-founder of The Tribe India and fitness coach to actors like Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon, is stripping away excuses with a high-efficiency micro-workout designed to be done ‘anywhere’.

(Instagram/ karansawhney11)'Do not tell me you don't have 10 minutes for yourself'
In an April 10 Instagram video, the former professional footballer asked people to prioritise movement over screen time and shared a routine that requires zero equipment and exactly 600 seconds of effort. Karan didn't mince words when addressing the common time management challenge. In his video demonstration, he challenged followers to look at their phones before claiming they are too busy to sweat. "Check your screen time right now, and you will know how really, really busy you are," Karan said, adding, “Do not tell me you don't have 10 minutes for yourself.” His philosophy centres on the long-term impact of small, daily habits rather than sporadic, gruelling sessions. "Remember, everything compounds," Karan reminded his audience. He said, "Do this 10-minute routine with me right now... do this fitness routine wherever you are."

The workout is structured as a high-intensity circuit. Karan recommended performing each of the following five movements for 30 seconds, then resting for 30 seconds, and repeating the entire circuit twice. 1. Squats: Build lower body strength and functional mobility. 2. Push-ups: Target the chest, shoulders, and triceps. 3. Plank: Engage the core and stabilise the spine. 4. Bicycle crunches: Fire up the abdominals and obliques. 5. High knees: Boost the heart rate for a cardiovascular finish. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Karan Sawhney (@karansawhney11)Why micro-workouts matter
While 10 minutes may seem negligible compared to an hour-long gym session, the science suggests otherwise. Research into short-burst exercise indicates that these micro-workouts can significantly improve cardiovascular health, stabilise blood sugar levels, and provide an immediate mental energy boost. One study published in 2022 found that just three to four 1-2 minute bursts of vigorous activity daily can reduce cardiovascular disease death risk by up to 49 percent. Moreover, over several months, consistent bouts of high-intensity movement have been shown to yield measurable improvements in both fat loss and muscle retention. By distilling fitness to its most accessible form, Karan aims to bridge the gap between a sedentary lifestyle and the elite conditioning of his celebrity clients. The message is clear: whether you are on a film set or in a home office, 10 minutes is all you need to start the ‘compounding’ effect of health.
