Hi friends! I’m taking the week off from shooting/editing/writing new blog posts to spend time with my and Joe’s families. We’re showing the kids around Boston the next couple days and then heading down to the Vineyard–I’m so excited! I haven’t been home at all this summer so it’s going to be a real treat.
The following workouts are a mix from the Pumps archives, blogs/social media accounts I follow and from readers (thank you so much to everyone who emailed links!). Pick one or two to try this week and let me know how it goes in the comments!
Workouts to Try
Cardio Deck of Cards Workout for the Gym
You’ll need a treadmill, a set of dumbbells and a deck of cards for this fun full-body workout.
Resistance Band Total Body Workout with Isometric Holds from In Fitness and In Health
I LOVE a good resistance band workout! The abductor raises are one of my favorite exercises.
Upper Body Hand Weight Workout
This is one of the most popular workouts for the Pumps archives. If you’re into low weight-high rep workouts, you’ll love this one.
Quick, No-Equipment-Needed Dorm Room Workout from Kayla in the City
If you’re short on time and equipment, this one is great. You guys know I love bodyweight workouts! 😉
Bodybuilder Burnout from Men’s Health
I love the videos Men’s Health posts to their Facebook page. This workout using bodyweight and dumbbell exercises looks challenging but definitely approachable.
A Quick (but Tough) Rowing + Weights Circuit
Oh, rowing. How I love to hate you. If you want maximum butt kicking in minimal time, add rowing sprints into a workout.
Strength Tabata Workout from Fit Foodie Finds
You’ll need a med ball, a set of weights and a jump rope for this tabata workout–it looks like a killer! 
Total Body BOSU Burner from The Fitnessista
With this one, you complete a series of BOSU ball exercises in a circuit–it looks awesome!

I posted this one a while ago as part of a beginner series. If you’re just starting out on your fitness journey check it out as well as the other beginner workouts listed at the bottom of the post.
10-to-1 Bodyweight Workout from Peanut Butter Fingers
This looks like a sweaty one! No equipment needed so it’s great for doing at home or on vacation.

Thanks! Love this round up. I’ll check some of these out!
I love a good resistance band workout as well. Great group of workouts. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing – I love working out at home, so I always enjoy finding great roundups of new routines and videos! That bodyweight workout by pbfingers definitely looks like one I need to add to my rotation.
I’ve got a 20 minute equipment-free tabata on my blog that’s great for getting in a quick workout at home: http://www.sayhiphooray.com/20-minute-workout-legs-and-cardio-tabata/

Hi, what do you think about Pokemon GO as a way to promote a healthy lifestyle? It’s gotten a whole lot of people off the couch, which is a really good start. But, could we turn something like that into a frequent activity that goes beyond a walk around the block? You think something like Pokemon GO, where you go, stop, go and stop all the time be molded into some kind of interval training routine?
