At Home Workout - 10 Minute Circuit

We put together this quick but effective home workout routine for you. This home workout is for your legs, abs, arms, chest,and butt. You can get a great workout in a short amount of time – Here is your 10 minute total body workout:

 Set a timer for 10 minutes and repeat this circuit as many times as possible without resting. (If you’re feeling energetic, reset timer and complete the circuit again up to 3 times):

 

1. REVERSE LUNGES - 10 REPS PER SIDE

Directions: Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Take a large step backward with your left foot .Lower your hips so that your right thigh (front leg) becomes parallel to the floor with your right knee positioned directly over your ankle. Pull yourself back up with your forward leg.

Reverse lunges help strengthen your thighs and hips.

  

2. PUSHUPS, 10 REPS

 Directions: Get in a pushup position with your hands about shoulder-width apart. Keep your lower back flat and don’t let your hips sink down. Lower yourself and keep your elbows close to your body as you bring your chest towards the floor.

This is the best bodyweight exercise for your upper body.

3. LATERAL SPLIT SQUATS – 6 REPS PER SIDE

Directions: Start with a very wide stance and your toes facing forward. Lean on your right leg and bend that knee to lower your body into a squat while keeping your opposite leg mostly straight. Your bent knee should be parallel with your foot. Return to original standing position by pushing from the heel of the bent leg to straighten. Repeat with left leg.

This exercise can build more strength in each leg than with regular squats while also targeting different muscles.

 

4. HIP BRIDGES, 10 REPS

 Directions: Lie on the ground with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes to push your hips up. Repeat. Do not use your lower back to pull yourself up.

This exercise is a great way to strengthen your glutes.

5. MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS, 30 SECONDS

 

 Directions: Get into a pushup position. Keep your core tight and run as fast as you can while bringing your knees towards your chest. Don’t let your hips come up - keep them at the same height as when you started.
