Low-Impact Workout for Legs & Butt (15 Mins) - You'll flow through a 7-minute sequence of sliding and bodyweight exercises on the right and left. Video included so you can follow along! #lowimpactworkout #workout #legday #workoutvideo

The first video of 2020 is this 15-minute low impact workout for lower body. Whew will your glutes be burning by the end of it! Definitely do this one by following along with the video. Instead of using intervals, I’m going to guide you through the exercises and variations, flowing through the sequence continuously. Parts of this will be similar to barre/Pilates/megaformer workouts.

Low Impact Workout for Legs & Butt

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

  • Slider – you can use a dish towel if you have hardwood floors.

This low impact workout is a continuous 7-min flow of slider and bodyweight exercises. You’ll complete it on the left, rest for 60 seconds, then complete the same sequence on the right (15 mins total). Follow along with the video as I guide you through the exercises and variations.

As with all workouts, you want to make sure you’re properly warmed up before, and always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. I have two guided warm ups:

This is a low impact workout—no jumping, and suitable for all levels. To modify, just take breaks instead of doing the whole 7-minute sequence continuously.

30-Min Full Body HIIT Workout (Bodyweight)

30-Min Full Body HIIT Workout (Bodyweight) - No equipment needed for this HIIT workout! It's broken up into three mini circuits. Video included! #hiit #intervaltraining #bodyweightworkout #bodyweighttraining #fitness #workoutvideo

This full body hiit workout uses the same structure as the workouts I’ve been posting all month, but with a slight twist. We’re going to alternate between sides of the body, going through each circuit on the left, then right, left, right. If you enjoy this one, definitely check out this slightly shorter bodyweight hiit workout that uses a similar structure.

Full Body HIIT Workout

This full body hiit workout will take you 30 minutes to complete (28.5 minutes to be exact). It’s broken up into three mini circuits. In each circuit, you’ll get three exercises. You’ll go through them four times, alternating between the left and right side of your body. So in total, you’ll complete the circuit twice on the right and twice on the left.

The interval structure is 30 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. After each set, you’ll rest for 30 seconds. After each completed circuit, you’ll rest for 60 seconds. If you need more recovery time and are following along with the video, just hit pause!

As with all workouts, you want to make sure you’re properly warmed up beforehand, and always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. Here are two guided warm ups you can choose from (or do your own!):

This bodyweight hiit workout will take you 22 minutes to complete. No equipment needed and perfect to do at home (or the gym). If you’re someone who gets easily bored during workouts, then this is the routine for you. Not only is it quick, but it’s broken up into three mini circuits, so you’re constantly changing up exercises.

Bodyweight HIIT Workout (Total Body)

This bodyweight hiit workout is broken up into three mini circuits. In each circuit, you’ll do three exercises, three times through, using an interval structure of 30 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. After each set, rest for 30 seconds. After each circuit, rest for 60 seconds.

All three circuits are total body, but the first will focus more on lower body, while the second will focus more on upper body and core.

As with all workouts, you want to make sure you’re properly warmed up beforehand. Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. I have two warm ups on my channel or you can do your own.

I also have a guided cool down on my channel that I highly recommend post-workout.
