Boost your power and muscle this weekend with these 5 exercises!
You don't need to go to the gym to get muscle.
If you've been sedentary all week at your desk, on your feet at a store, or have little time to spare, you might be looking for a quick and easy weekend workout. Thankfully, you don't have to waste hours scouring YouTube because we've compiled a list of five excellent exercises for you to attempt.
Furthermore, you can begin without a gym membership! All you need is a yoga mat for floor exercises and a few weights, such as kettlebells or adjustable dumbbells. However, there is a bodyweight-only option for those without any equipment, so don't worry.
Whether you're a frequent exerciser or you're just getting started, we've made sure that every workout is accessible, enjoyable, and diverse so that it doesn't feel like a hassle. The workouts are perfect if you have a busy weekend schedule because they are all under 30 minutes.
1. THE 30-MINUTE FULL-BODY DUMBBELL WORKOUT BY TIFF X DAN
Thanks to the utilization of many multi-muscle compound movements, this workout by YouTube fitness team Tiff and Dan is meant to work muscles across your entire body. Although adjustable or two sets of dumbbells would be ideal, fixed-weight dumbbells would also work just fine. Each of the six rounds' four exercises is performed for 60 seconds, followed by a 20-second break before moving on to the next exercise.
2. THE 20-MINUTE LOW-IMPACT HIIT WORKOUT BY GROWINGANNANAS
If you have aching joints, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may be a difficult exercise regimen for you. However, HIIT can also help you lose weight and improve your cardiovascular fitness. Luckily, there is no jumping involved in this quick routine, so you can minimize noise and save your knees. Exercise will be done in two rounds: 40 seconds of movement followed by a 10-second rest, and 30 seconds of movement followed by a 10-second pause.
3. THE 25-MINUTE PILATES CORE WORKOUT BY ZOE
Pilates is a great technique to build your core without using weights if you're looking for an equipment-free approach to target your midsection. The goal of this quick workout, which is taught by certified instructor Zoe, is to strengthen your core—the mid-body muscle that connects your upper and lower bodies for better stability and posture. Since it's laid up like a yoga flow sequence, you may move fluidly between the exercises.
4. DO THE 20-MINUTE KETTLEBELL SESSION WITH ROXANNE TO WORK OUT
Because of their amazing versatility, kettlebells can be a terrific way to burn fat, increase heart rate, and build muscle without using just one weight. However, it's difficult to know where to begin. This quick workout helps with that. It's guided by personal trainer Roxanne, so you can follow along, work on your form, and polish your technique. In only twenty minutes, you'll complete a full-body workout.
5. ADRIENE'S 25-MINUTE FLOW ROUTINE FOR YOGA
Adriene Mishler is among the most well-liked online yoga instructors, and with good reason—her courses are simple to follow, strengthen your core, frequently last less than thirty minutes, and gently introduce you to the poses, regardless of your level of experience. This particular class is a brief yoga flow in which you just transition between positions without needing to reset after each one. All you need is a mat and a little amount of room.
