With a comprehensive warm-up and cool-down, this workout ends up being slightly longer than 20 minutes instead of the advertised 10, but the core workout is about 10 minutes, and boy is it a well-used 10 minutes.
With the four moves being burpees, bicycle crunches, mountain climbers, and squats, and it’s literally filled with three of the moves I hate the most. You’ll feel your whole body working!
It’s pretty brutal, especially because each circuit is repeated four times before you get to move on to the next moves, but 20 seconds is a really short interval, and it goes by fast, so the torture level is generally pretty low. Even though the moves are hard, you really feel like you can do it because it’s only 20 seconds!
Another great thing about this workout is that there are tons of modifications for both beginner and advanced levels, so this workout can reasonably be done by anyone. I labeled it intermediate because it’s hard, but beginners can do it if they want to challenge themselves.
All around this is a great workout for the whole body, and the fact that it’s all-inclusive is definitely great! When you need a good workout but only have a little time, this is definitely a great option.
