Home | Single Workout | Beginner: 10 exercises
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a time-efficient workout that challenges your cardiovascular system and builds strength. This 10-minute routine features exercises that target different muscle groups, utilizing just your body weight for maximum effectiveness.
The workout begins with the "Bodyweight Full Squat With Overhead Press." This exercise engages your quads, glutes, and shoulders while enhancing your overall stability and coordination. Perform this for 40 seconds to build lower-body strength and core stability.
Next, we move into the "Bodyweight Rear Lunge," which emphasizes balance and unilateral strength through the glutes and hamstrings. It's an effective way to engage your lower body while improving flexibility.
Following the lunges, you'll do "Cossack Squats." This dynamic movement targets your hip flexibility, core strength, and stability. Engage deeply into each squat to maximize benefits and build lateral strength.
Then, shift to "Standing Calf Raise" to work on your calf muscles. This simple yet effective move helps increase ankle stability and lower leg strength.
The workout ramps up intensity with the "Lay Down Push-up," a challenging variation that targets your chest, shoulders, and triceps while requiring more core engagement leading to increased muscle activation.
Moving on, the "Front Plank to Toe Tap" combines core stability with shoulder strength, testing your balance while effectively engaging your abs. Maintain good form during this exercise to reap the full benefits.
Next, you will perform "Lying Bottoms Up," which focuses on your glutes and allows for a great isometric hold in the posterior chain. It’s an excellent way to enhance muscle endurance in your glutes.
Following this, do the "Lying Prone A" exercise. This movement strengthens your back, shoulders, and arms, crucial for overall upper body stability.
Then switch to "Lying Prone Y.” This exercise continues to build the muscles in your upper back and shoulders, which supports good posture and can counteract long periods of sitting.
Finally, conclude with the "Pelvic Tilt Into Bridge," which focuses on the glutes, lower back, and core. This dynamic move strengthens your posterior chain and improves hip mobility.
In just 10 minutes, this HIIT bodyweight workout will elevate your heart rate, improve overall fitness, and challenge every muscle group. Make sure to maintain good form during each exercise and listen to your body for optimal results. Remember, consistency is key in achieving your fitness goals! Enjoy your workout!
