It’s a warm spring day and you’d give anything to be soaking up some rays instead of plodding through your strength training routine inside a stuffy gym. But with beach season right around the corner, you can’t just give up and go play. Instead, have the best of both worlds: Craft a killer workout that you can perform barefoot in your own backyard without dropping thousands of dollars on fancy fitness equipment. (Bonus: If you prefer an indoor workout, try this quick routine you can do in your living room!)

The catch: creativity—and a little rummaging through the garage—are required. We found three trainers to teach you how to use backyard staples to create a total body circuit that will build muscle, beat boredom, and boost your mood.
