Quick Workout Guide – Full Body HIIT

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CU Boulder chapter.

Don’t have enough time to workout? Don’t know what to do when you get to the gym? Here’s an easy-to-follow guide for a full-body workout! Use this for in between classes or when you’re short on time. You’ll leave feeling energized and ready to take on the day!

1 Minute Erg

Your new favorite machine! It’s all about form, so keep your feet shoulder-width apart and bend over into a small squat. Reach up and grab the handles and start to pull with your back, delts and triceps. While still holding on to the handles, let them glide back up and keep going!

20 Bosu Ball Sit-Ups

Feel that ab stretch! Place your butt slightly off the ground and more on the ball. Then, keep your hands behind your head and lay back down. When you come up make sure to crunch and squeeze at the top.

10 Bicep Curls

An oldie but a goodie! Keep your elbows glued to your body and don’t let them leave. Make sure to get the full extension, all the way down and all the way up. It’s also important to plant your feet into the ground and flex your core.

10 Push-Ups

An exercise we don’t get enough of! Whether you can do “real” push-ups or push-ups on your knees, get them in! Place your hands shoulder-width apart and a little bit in front of your shoulders. Then, engage your core, and when you go down try to touch your chest to the ground. 

10 Weighted Sumo Squats

Let’s get those glutes fired up! You want your feet to be spread a little bit past your shoulders and toes pointed at an angle. Keep your weights at the center of your body while squatting up and down. Don’t forget to squeeeeeeze your butt at the top!

10 Front Shoulder Raises

This will be a good kind of burn! Grab weights you’re comfortable with and can lift while still using good form. Start with weights against your thighs, then lift your arms with a little bend in the elbow. Make sure to not lift your arms past your shoulders!

20 Bosu Ball Lunges

This is all about balance! Then, it becomes easy… kinda. First, find a comfortable stance where you’re stable and your knee doesn’t go past your ankle. Once you’re ready, start lunging away!

20 Side-to-Side Plank Dips

Start in a forearm plank position, engage your core and make sure to not let your butt sink in. Once in position, dip your hips from side to side where your hip almost touches the ground.

Half the battle is getting there! So, show up and use this quick and easy guide to get your workout on. You won’t regret it!
