The Perfect 30-Minute Workout

A total-body HIIT routine to leave you fit, lean, and strong in a short amount of time.

When I think of fitness perfection, I think of 2015 when I was lean and ripped like never before. Through a mix of HIIT workouts, jogging, and clean-eating, I was able to build the perfect body. Now, I’m not as worried about total body perfection, but I still work hard to keep myself looking and feeling great. Once a week, I enjoy a full-body workout that hits every body part and leaves me feeling confident and one-step closer to perfection. The perfect 30-minute workout offers a total-body HIIT routine to leave you fit, lean, and strong without the long gym dedication.

The Perfect 30-Minute Workout

You’ll need a range of dumbbells for this 30-minute workout and an interval timer, which is available on most phones. Your fitness level will determine which weights you should use. Five to ten pounds are on the lighter scale for most people, and 15 to 20 are ideal for medium weights. Feel free to add more weight to get the best results for your body.

Perform each exercise for 40 seconds and rest for 10 seconds in between each exercise. Complete five rounds, resting for one minute in between each round.
