15-Min Interval Workout (No Jumping) + lululemon Gift Guide

This post was sponsored by lululemon in partnership with Shopping Links and contains affiliate links. All opinions—as always!—are my own.

Maybe you have a baby sleeping in the next room. Maybe you live in an apartment complex and your downstairs neighbors have had enough of you thumping around doing burpees above them. Maybe jumping bothers your joints. Whether it’s noise-related or mechanical, sometimes a “quiet” workout is needed. Today’s quick interval workout includes some explosive movements to get the heart rate up, but without the jumping around.

While this workout definitely isn’t easy, it’s not *as* challenging as some of the other interval workouts I’ve posted in the past. It’s a great one to try if you’ve felt that some of my others are too intense. And if you use light weights and slow down the pace during your work intervals, it can be 100% beginner-friendly.

lululemon Gift Guide & Outfit Details

Lululemon Gift Guide

I’m excited to be teaming up with lululemon, so before we break down today’s workout, I want to show you the new pieces I selected for myself, as well as some that would make great holiday gifts for others on your list.

In this outfit, I’m wearing the Wunder Under High-Rise Tech Mesh Pant, the Scuba Hoodie Light Cotton Fleece and the Stash ‘N Run Bra. I’ve had these leggings in black for years now, and every so often lululemon will come out with other colors for a limited time. So excited to have a second pair—I wear these all the time! The mesh is fun and stylish, but they’re functional and have a supportive compression fit with a high waist.

The hoodie is warm and cozy, and the high neck is crucial on these windy, freezing Boston winter days. For the bra, I always go with one with thick straps for more support. I love the shade of blue this one is!

Lastly, I’m holding the The Reversible Mat 5mm. The 5mm (versus the 3mm) is a good option if you want a little extra padding for your knees during yoga. I’ve found this mat holds up well when you use it for non-yoga workouts as well, which I do all the time.

In the roundup below, I’ve included these items as well as some other picks for women, men, girls, and even a few stocking stuffer ideas.

Lululemon Gift Guide

1. Scuba Hoodie Light Cotton Fleece ($118) – This zip-up hoodie comes in lots of colors. I love the high neck! So cozy.

2. The Reversible Mat 5mm ($68) – The 5mm mat is a good choice if you want a little extra padding for your knees during yoga and other workouts.

3. Stash ‘N Run Bra ($58) – This medium-support bra has a built-in pocket for storing a credit card or key.

4. Wunder Under High-Rise Tight in Brushed Full-On Luxtreme ($98) – Wunder Unders have a supportive feel. These are soft and stretchy but really hold everything in. Love this burnt rose color (called Misty Merlot), but there are other options as well!

5. Wunder Under High-Rise Tech Mesh Pant ($118) – I’ve owned a pair of these in black for years now and am pumped to have them in another color as well. The mesh panels give these a unique, trendy look while still being functional.

6. Girls Rhythmic Tight High Low Tech Mesh ($72) – These leggings are like the girls’ version of the previous Tech Mesh pants.

7. Sculpt Tank II ($58) – I love a looser-fitting tank. This top is flowy without being shapeless, has some stretch to it, and cute mesh back detail.

8. Get Rolling Yoga Mat Bag ($68) – This is a great gift for the yogi in your life and comes in several colors and prints.

9. Align Pant II ($98) – In comparison to the Wunder Unders listed above, the Align leggings have more of a lightweight feel and fit.

10. All Sport Bra III ($58) – I love this bra. It’s supportive but comfortable.

11. Apres Your Way Jogger ($108) – These look so cozy and also come in black and a light blue-gray.

12. Girls Reach New Heights Scrunchie ($8) – Can’t go wrong with a good scrunchie! Lots of color options (and style options for adults, too! See below).

13. Uplifting Bow Scrunchie ($12) – Scrunchies aren’t just for young girls! Love this bow version and it comes in a bunch of colors. It would make a great stocking stuffer!

14. Show Me The Sherpa Earwarmer ($58) – How cute is this knit earwarmer? And it’s lined with sherpa fleece to make it extra warm and cozy. Perfect as the temperatures drop!

15. It’s A Tie Tank ($38) – This fun tank can be tied in back or wrapped around your waist and tied that way.

16. 5 Year Basic V ($58) – Joe has a couple of these and will wear them alone or sometimes even as undershirts. They’re a great wardrobe staple.

17. Mens ABC Pant Slim ($128) – Joe has a couple pairs of these and loves them. They can be dressed down or paired with a button-up and jacket for a business casual outfit. Joe likes the slim fit but there’s a whole ABC shop with other options.

15-Min Interval Workout (No Jumping)

In this workout, we’ll use an interval structure of 15 rounds of 45 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest. You’ll have five exercises (really just three because two are repeated on right and then left), and you’ll go through them three times total.

As with all workouts, make sure you’re properly warmed up beforehand and always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed.
