10-Minute Body Weight Circuit for Butt & Thighs

A body weight HIIT routine that can be completed in just 10 minutes.

This workout is comprised of 4 exercises that are designed to trim down and tone the entire lower body. High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, will slim and tone thighs and a firm up your butt. HIIT increases the amount of fat burn during exercise routines and continues to do so for up to 24 hours. HIIT routines burn more calories and fat than routines performed at a steady pace.

One of the most common problem areas for women is typically the lower body. Excess fat is often stored in the thighs and butt, and it can be stubborn! Four circuits using your body weight during a HIIT can be completed in just 10 minutes and will whittle away at that excess lower body fat!

  1. Just did this work out and I feel awesome! Saved this website to my favorites to I can keep coming back for more exercises as well 🙂 Great website

  2. hi just to check, will this workout bulk up your thigh & calf muscles or make your thighs and calves skinnier? thanks

    1. Everyone is different but you are well on your way by being consistent with the workout. 🙂

  3. I really want slim my thighs. Will this give me results or will this bulk my thighs instead? It’s just that under some thigh workout videos, some people say that the exercises will bulk your thighs rather than slim them out. I’m just scared that if I do this workout that my thighs become bigger.

    1. Hi Joshitha,

      No, the exercises in this workout will not add mass to your legs. In fact, the HIIT style of the routine will actually help you burn excess fat from all over, while tightening and strengthening the muscles of your lower body! In order to “bulk up” you would need to be lifting heavy weight and/or performing the body weight exercises at an extremely high volume (reps/sets.) Hope that clears things up! 🙂

    1. Hi there. It was definitely just supposed to be 4 exercises. I fixed it 🙂 Thank you!
