Get Your Full-Body Workout In 15 Minutes Or Less With This Circuit

While during the week you might typically hit the gym for a workout before or after the office, the weekend offers no such structure, and sometimes you’re lucky if you get to the gym at all. And even when you do, it’s not like you want to waste your precious weekend in the weight room. 

That’s why it pays to have a few quick-hit workouts in your back pocket that you can bust out in just a few minutes—routines to light up your entire body and send you on your way.

In the video above, Fhitting Room instructor Daury Dross demonstrates a full-body workout that you can knock out in less than 15 minutes.

The time-based workout (you won’t need to count reps), for which you’ll need just one kettlebell and two dumbbells, is a combination of three Tabata circuits. You’ll perform each exercise for 20 seconds, max, resting for 10 seconds between moves. It’s intense, but it’ll be over before you know it.

In the first circuit, you’re alternating between the kettlebell swing and the burpee. So, again, you’ll do swings for 20 seconds, rest for 10, then do burpees for the next 20 seconds, and rest for another 10. You’re going to repeat that for a total of four rounds (or eight total Tabata intervals), which will net out at four minutes. You’ll follow that same format for all three circuits.

For the second circuit, your moves will be the situp and the tuck-up, followed by the air squat and dumbbell push press in the third circuit.

Watch the video above to see Dross perform each of these moves in order. As with all time-based workouts, pay attention to your form throughout to ensure you’re not risking injury as you race the clock.
