10 Quick Full-Body Workouts That’ll Take You 20 Minutes or Less

Another good day to be a Boston sports fan! Not gonna lie, I went to bed last night in the 7th inning so I’m far from a hard-core fan, but it’s still exciting. Of all the Boston teams, the Red Sox will always hold a special place in my heart because of that 2004 playoff season—I was in high school and still remember every second of it so vividly.

But moving on from baseball, today I’ve rounded up 10 quick full body workouts that’ll take you 20 minutes or less.

If you’re not tight on time, you can check out all my full-body workouts organized chronologically (over 100 to choose from!). All the workouts listed in today’s post have a follow-along video to go with them, but I have so many other great ones in the archives you should check out.

10 Quick Full-Body Workouts That’ll Take You 20 Minutes or Less

In no particular order…

(18 Minutes) Full Body HIIT Workout with Buy-In

This is a workout from the archives to which I just added a video. You’ll need a single weight (dumbbell or medicine ball). It’s full-body, but my arms were especially toasted by the end.

(12 Minutes) Tabata Workout with Holds

A traditional tabata workout is 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. In this workout, we’ll be replacing the rest intervals with an isometric hold. Grab a dumbbell and give it a try!

(15 Minutes) Burpee Challenge Workout

In this workout, you’ll build various burpee variations over the course of 2-minute blocks. No equipment needed! This one is quick but tough.

(10 or 20 Minutes) Medicine Ball Full Body Circuit Workout

There are five medicine ball exercises in this workout. Complete two sets of the circuit for a 10-minute workout or four sets of the circuit for a 20-minute workout.

(20 Minutes) Beginner Interval Workout

For this beginner-friendly interval workout, you’ll just need a set of dumbbells. Perfect if you’re just starting out or coming back from an extended time away from fitness.

(12 Minutes) Bodyweight Tabata Superset Workout

No equipment and only 12 minutes, but don’t be fooled. This full-body tabata superset workout is a big challenge!

(12 Minutes) Tabata Superset Workout

This uses the same structure as the above workout but with different bodyweight exercises.

(18 Minutes) Med Ball HIIT Workout

Using an interval structure of 45 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest, you’ll go through a circuit of med ball exercises three times.

(10 Minutes) Bodyweight HIIT Workout

This quickie is perfect if you’re short on time or traveling. No equipment needed!

(12 Minutes) Slider Workout

In this workout, you’ll flow from one exercise into the next with no rest. It’s quick but you’ll be shaking by the end!

Sale Alert!

Before I sign off for the day, I wanted to let you know that ProSource is having a flash sale on workout equipment. Great time to add to your home gym! The sale ends Wednesday and includes tons of different equipment but here are a few highlights of stuff I use a lot on the blog:

• Kettlebells are on sale – I have a vinyl coated one and really like it
• Resistance bands are up to 20% off – I have this set of three mini bands (great for lower body work but a little heavy for some upper body moves) and this stackable set with handles and a door anchor.
• Med balls are on sale – they have both hard and soft
• Light hand weights are also on sale – good for high-rep, low-weight upper body workouts like the one I posted just last week!

One note—I wouldn’t recommend their mats for HIIT training. If you’re barefoot on them doing yoga or low-impact, they’re fine but I’ve found that they get ripped up quickly if you’re doing HIIT workouts on them in sneakers.
