This 15 Minute HIIT Workout at Home is perfect if you’re short on time and still want to get in a good workout. After a short warm-up, you’re good to go on this one!
Have you noticed the busier we get, the harder it is to get in our workouts?
I know for me, I always thought that if I didn’t workout for at least an hour and at the gym that I didn’t really workout. So silly, especially because I have a pretty solid gym setup at home already. We have pretty much everything we need in the weight realm. I do still really want a kettlebell and maybe a bosu or an assault bike. But I definitely want a kettlebell. That would add perfectly to my home gym.
When you’re short on time, you can still get in a good workout. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a great way to help you achieve your fitness goals with less time spent at the gym or physically working out. This 15 minute HIIT workout will help you achieve just that. Paired with a great eating plan (which I would love to help you achieve), you’ll be hitting your fitness goals without dedicating your life to it.
I’ve come to really love working out at home and doing HIIT training. I still have a couple days a week where I’ll go for a run or do a strictly strength training workout. But overall, HIIT has allowed me to keep up with my fitness goals and my schedule. Using the LUCC method for my HIIT workouts allows me to hit every major muscle group each workout. I can’t complain about well-rounded workouts and staying injury free by not over-training.
15 Minute HIIT Workout at Home
Why each move?
Burpees: even though most everyone hates burpees, they are a great total body workout. You can get stronger and improve you endurance just doing burpees alone. I used to hate burpees too. But I’ve done so many during Crossfit that I’ve learned to accept them. I still don’t love them. But there are other moves we do in Crossfit that I absolutely hate (thrusters and handstand pushups) so I’ll take burpees over those any day.
Plank jacks: are a great core and cardio move. Make sure to keep that core tight (belly button to spine) to prevent injury to your low back. Here you have the option to jump your feet out like with jumping jacks or step one out at a time. Either way, you’re core will be burning.
Squats: I love squats, and I think most people who want a booty do too. Squats are great to working your butt and your legs. They make you stronger and make daily activities like walking and taking the stairs much easier.
Do this workout at home, taking it to the gym with you, or on your next work trip. Make sure you pin it for later so you have quick access to it!

I love a good home workout like this one. I will definitely give it a try! How do you usually warm up?
Atim Effiong
For a warm-up, I usually do about 5-7 minutes of arm circles, jumping jacks, squats, push-ups, leg swings, side lunges, high knees, and butt kickers. I’ll usually do about 10 of each move and repeat through for that 5-7 minutes. Sometimes I’ll also incorporate some of the moves that will be in the workout into the mix too. Great question!
