10 Minute Total Body HiiT Workouts
Four great go to workouts which only take 10 minutes to perform. This series of workouts are a perfectly good way to get your fitness back on track. I know that it is always hard to fit in any kind of workout sometimes, so 10 Minutes can fit into any day. Therefore, I have the perfect Challenge for you that can be achieved quickly and easily for any level.
Each exercise needs to be performed for 30 seconds with a 10-second rest in between each one so it is a short sharp workout. Do this workout 5 days per week and watch your improvements skyrocket.
Your aim is to do as many repetitions as you can. Please ensure you also do a quick warm up and cool down.

Power Squats
Oblique Twists (Alternate)
Mountain Climbers
Single Legged Deadlifts (Alternate)
Plyometric Lunges
Neutral Stance Position
Stand feet hip width apart. Stand tall opening up your chest by drawing your shoulder blades down your spine. Engage your core and sink into your feet looking straight ahead of you.

Start in a neutral stance position. Initiate this exercise by pushing your butt back and down as if sitting into a chair to approximately knee height. From that position jump into the air returning to that squat position.

Mountain Climbers
Come into a plank position engaging your core, squeezing your glutes with your heels pushing down to the floor. Start on your right leg by bringing knee up to chest and then swap sides. Should feel like you are climbing.
Single Legged Deadlifts
Start in your neutral stance. Start on the right and by lifting your foot and tipping your upper body forward reaching with your right arm until you are perpendicular to the floor. Come back and repeat on the other side. When returning to the start really think about pushing through the foot on the floor whilst squeezing your glutes.
Plyometric Lunges
Neutral stance and step your right leg back with knee to the floor. You should find yourself in a 90/90 degree angle and be able to see your front toe. Your aim is to jump up switching legs.

Haha thanks for the article my guy! To be completely honest with you, I actually found this article really helpful. I’m stuck in the house way too much and I need a form of exercise to do to keep me in shape. I’ve always loved high intensity training and prefer it over low intensity training. I don’t have much stamina; I’m used to putting all my effort for a few seconds, rather than spread it out over minutes.
Imelda Easthorpe
Thank you Jongabriel,
I am pleased they are helpful for you. Being stuck in the house is awful at the best of times so I know how perfect these workouts can be.
Quick and effective so no excuse for having no time!
Good luck and all the best

I love HIIT work out. It does not take a lot of time of my day and I can just do it at the comfort of my home. Thanks for sharing all 4 of them, this is perfect so I can mix them out and does not seems like it is such a routine. I see that you have a YouTube link but I can’t find the link. Can you post the links for all of them again? Thanks 🙂

This is for me. Since last year when I could no longer go to the gym, I started working out every morning with a variety of methods. Some mornings I do African dancing, or yoga, or workout with any of the videos I saved. I usually workout for about 15 minutes, and I am always looking for a variety of styles. I have bookmarked this page and noted your website and youtube link. I am going to try it tomorrow morning. Thanks for the introduction.
Imelda Easthorpe
That is marvellous news,
Thank you so much for book marking me it is greatly appreciated.
You will also find lots of other videos too.
All the best

This was perfect. I was looking for something exactly like this. I love the fact that you also linked to video demonstrations of the exercises. The way I see it, that leaves very little room for guessing, as well as basically no room for the excuse of “I don’t know exactly how to do it which is why I won’t” (which makes little sense but I feel it’s something people often use.
Personally, I will probably start with the first set of exercises. Try it for a week and then see how it feels and whether I should try to move on to the next one. Bookmarked it. Thank you <3
