My Favorite HIIT Workouts
If you’re short on time, try a HIIT workout! High-Intensity Interval Training is a great way to get in a solid workout in a short amount of time.
I’ve been doing 20 minute circuit workouts, and it’s been kicking my butt. I have a mental list of exercises, and then I mix and match them for 20 minutes. That’s it!
My HIIT Circuit Moves
Mix and match these 1 minute exercises for 15-20 minutes.
- Jump rope
- Weighted sit ups
- Squats
- Lunges
- Bicep curls
- Plank position
- Burpees (Love’ em and hate ’em)
- Mountain climbers
- Push-ups
- Jumping Jacks
Honestly, the time flies by, and I like picking out the next exercise during each minute. It keeps my mind occupied, and it makes the workout really fun. It also keeps my muscles guessing, and I end up getting in a much better workout than just aimlessly wandering from weight machine to weight machine. (Not that I do that or anything… *ahem*)
My Favorite Fitness Apps
Looking for something more? Try an at-home workout app! I love the Tone It Up Studio App and the FitOn app has tons of workouts for free! If you love HIIT Workouts, check out the Sweat App which has tons of high intensity interval programs.
If HIIT workouts aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other options out there! I love The Sculpt Society for dance workouts and the Blogilates app for toning moves.
Do you like circuit workouts? What workout would you add to the list?
I have workout ADD! That’s why I love track workouts, circuits, and switching machines every 10-15 minutes when I do cardio. I get bored or distracted so fast!!
You and I are SO the same person. I think you already know that I don’t sit still very well. I have the shortest attention span ever. I’m not an adult. Duh. I really want us to get together because I think we would cause most mayhem ever caused in the history of the universe.
I have a circuit that I do at the gym precisely because I always have to be doing something. It works really well for me.

I generally prefer traditional strength training, but I occasionally enjoy a good circuit. I guess I’d enjoy them more if I did them at the gym. it’s hard to get motivated to really sweat it out when I’m at home in my living room.
i hate to work out. period. so i don’t like any of them. hahahah.
i am short attention spanned too, SO if i am working out, yes i prefer circuit workouts. but again. im lazy. haha.
have a great weekend doll ♥
I like these kind of workouts too – its reminds me of some of the You Tube videos you can get, I put a playlist together of different things so I don’t get bored! I would probably add deadlifts, I love deadlifts!
Circuit workouts are sort of how I attack weight/strength training. Because I’m the same as you- the attention span is lacking. 🙂
i freakin LOVE circuits. so much easier to pass the time.
Wow, totally agree with not being able to watch movies! That is me allll the way! These seem like pretty effective workouts! 🙂

I like doing circuits when I’m at home or on vacation. Running up and down a flight of stairs really gets your heart rate up!
Dude I have a major short attention span too, I can never be on a stationary bike or treadmill for an hour, I’d probably die haha Love the circuit! 😀
