Are you keen to get your body moving and generally feel better in yourself? Of course you are! With this 10 minute HIIT cardio workout you’ll not only finish feeling more energised, as it’ll get your endorphins pumping, but you’ll also lose some calories whilst doing it. You don’t need any equipment either, just yourbest workout shoes.

You may be wondering whether this is actually long enough for an effective workout. Firstly, doing a little bit of exercise is always better than none at all, but astudyalso found that a 10 minute high-intensity interval workout can improve your fitness levels just as effectively as 50 minutes of traditional cardio. So, the next time you think about ditching a workout because you don’t think you’ve got long enough to do it, don’t! Ten minutes of HIIT will be just fine.

This workout has four bodyweight exercises that are very beginner-friendly. For each exercise you’re going to do 30 seconds of work, with a 10 second rest in between each one. You’ll do three rounds of the workout in total, so really try and give it your all. Remember, with high-intensity training you’re meant to be working at around 80 to 90% of your maximum heart rate. Here’s your workout:

We hope you enjoyed that and found it more enjoyable than going for a run. There’s plenty of other alternative running workouts on T3 too.
