HIIT Workout with Stepper (20 Mins)

HIIT Workout with Stepper (20 Mins) - This total body step workout uses a 30-on-30-off interval structure. Video included! #workout #fitness #step #stepworkout

This hiit workout with stepper will take you 20 minutes to complete, and no additional equipment is required. I’ll probably post one more stepper workout next month, and then that will conclude my annual summertime invasion of my parents’ house and equipment (ha!). I’m using three risers on my adjustable step. I would suggest 2-3 as a good height for this workout, but customize as needed.

HIIT Workout with Stepper

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

  • Stepper – or a longer step bench works (link is affiliate)

We’ll use a 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off interval structure for the entire 20 minutes. You’ll go through the circuit of five exercises four times total. When I’ve posted 30/30 workouts in the past, I’ve given you a full minute of recovery time in the middle. Because of the particular exercises in this one, however, I think we can go 30/30 straight the whole time. Of course, hit pause on the video as needed if you want more recovery time!

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. I have a few guided warm ups:

18-Min Quick Bodyweight Workout

18-Min Quick Bodyweight Workout - This workout is broken up into two functional circuits. Video included! #bodyweighttraining #bodyweightworkout #workout

This quick bodyweight workout is like a truncated version of this 30-min bodyweight workout from last month. Same structure except we’ll do just two circuits instead of three. And different exercises of course!

18-Min Quick Bodyweight Workout

This quick bodyweight workout is broken up into two circuits. In each circuit, you’ll do four exercises, back to back, for 30 seconds each. You then rest 30 seconds before repeating. So in other words, that’s 2 minutes of work, 30 seconds of rest.

You’ll complete 4 sets of Circuit 1. There’s some unilateral work, so you’ll alternate right, left, right left. You’ll complete 3 sets of Circuit 2.

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 a few guided warm ups:

Low Impact Band Workout (25 Mins)

Low Impact Band Workout - 25 minute total body workout using a resistance band loop. Video included! #workoutvideo #resistanceband #bandworkout #resistancetraining #lowimpactworkout #workout #fitness

This low impact band workout is 25 minutes long and broken up into three circuits. It uses the same format as many of the quiet workouts I’ve been posting regularly throughout quarantine. Low impact = no jumping, so it’s perfect to do if you have downstairs neighbors.

Low Impact Band Workout

EQUIPMENT USED:

  • Resistance band loop – You can go with a heavy one for the first circuit, but you’ll want a medium strength for the second two so that you can get a slightly bigger range of motion.

This low impact band workout is broken up into three circuits. In each circuit, you’ll do three exercises, back to back, for 30 seconds each. Rest 30 seconds then repeat. You’ll complete four sets, alternating between right and left.

We’ll put a big emphasis on stability and balance in this one, especially during the first two circuits. So it probably won’t be the sweatiest workout you do of mine, but it’ll challenge you in a different way.

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 a few guided warm ups:
