5-Minute Build-A-Burpee HIIT Workout

June 25, 2018 by 2 Comments

This post was made in partnership with Hyatt Place. All opinions—as always!—are my own.

I can’t believe it’s officially a wrap on my Workout Wednesday series with Hyatt Place Hotels! I started this project almost a year ago and it’s led to some seriously cool opportunities that are blog career highlights for sure. Today’s 5-minute build-a-burpee HIIT workout is the last of the 10 routines. When we shot these videos, I also saved this one for last because I knew it’d be the hardest and I didn’t want to have to film anything else after it (lol).

All 10 workouts can be found on the Hyatt Place Facebook page, and three of them (this one included) are also up on my YouTube channel (links below). Try one—or several—today! They all require no equipment or use objects you can easily find in a Hyatt Place hotel room, making them perfect for doing while on the road.

5-Minute Build-A-Burpee HIIT Workout

For this quickie, set an interval timer for 5 rounds of 45 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest. You’ll start and end with burpees, focusing on a singular component of the compound move during the other intervals. If you’re looking for a longer workout, repeat this 2-3x.

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

Workout Breakdown

  • Burpees – no push up
  • Squat Jumps – air squat to modify
  • Low Squat Snaps
  • Push Ups – from knees to modify
  • Burpees – optional push up

Did you try any of the workouts from this series? Which was your favorite?

12-Minute Bodyweight Tabata Superset Workout: Core + Upper Body - This workout is broken up into three tabata supersets. Perfect for doing when you're short on time and space! #workout #tabata

I’ve got the second of three bodyweight tabata superset workouts for you! If you missed the last one, it focused on lower body. Today’s will hit core and upper body. The first superset is the easiest of the three so if you start the workout and think it might not be challenging enough, just wait for the next two. 😉

12-Minute Bodyweight Tabata Superset Workout: Core + Upper Body

This workout consists of three tabata supersets. For each superset, you’ll complete 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. You alternate between the two exercises. Rest for 30-60 seconds in between supersets.

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

12-Minute Bodyweight Tabata Superset Workout (Lower Body) - no equipment needed for this quick (but challenging!) lower body workout. Video so you can follow along at home! #fitness #tabata #workout

A couple summers ago, I did a series of 12-minute bodyweight tabata superset workouts that are still super popular today on YouTube. They’re quick but intense and perfect if you’re traveling and away from equipment or just short on time. You can also do several of them if you’re looking for a longer workout. With Memorial Day weekend almost here, I decided to make a few more for this workout series. This week is lower body focused; next week is upper body & core; and the final week will be full body.

If you missed the original workout in this series, you can check them out here:

The new ones will all use different exercises so you can switch it up!
