With this 5 minute LUCC Workouts (5 minutes of fury) you’ll hit all your major muscle groups LUCC style!

Each 5 minute hiit workout focuses on one to two body parts.

What you’ll need:

Small area to workout

Mat

Dumbbells

Timer

Here’s how it works. 

Set a timer for 5 minutes, complete the first circuit (lower body). Rest for 1 minute. Then set another timer for 5 minutes, complete the second circuit (upper body). Rest for 1 minute. Finally, set the timer again for just 5 more minutes, complete the third circuit (core and cardio). Lay on the floor for 5 minutes.

5 Minutes of Fury

First 5: lower body
  • Lunges build that booty! They’re also functional in that they mimic walking. Remember to keep the front knee in line with your ankle. Let that back knee bend to 90 degrees.
  • Wide leg squat with 2 pulses at the bottom work those inner thigh muscles. Additionally strong inner thighs can help to reduce knee pain since they’re generally weaker than our quads which can pull the knee out of alignment. Remember your knees will track with those toes.
  • Plank jump ins work your whole body but also really target your lower body and core muscles.
Second 5: upper body
  • Pushups build your chest, shoulders, and the back of your arms (triceps). It’s also a great core workout by keeping your body straight and to push you up from the ground. Don’t be afraid to modify as needed.
  • Rows work your back and biceps. I’m a big fan of big movements to work the arms.
  • Shoulder press work the shoulders and help to build those nice sleek arms. Plus any time you have to put something overhead, (think your carry-on suitcase or bottles of wine above the fridge) you’re using these muscles.
Third 5: core and cardio

When I put together workout plans for programs and clients, I like to combine these 2 together on one day. Cardio is good for the lunges. A strong core determines how well you move.

  • Cross body mountain climbers work the shoulders (by holding you up), the deep core muscles, and your obliques. Plus it gets your heart rate up for some cardio burn.
  • Russian twists work your obliques and deep core muscles. Remember to pull that belly button into your spine.
  • Cross body up downs are a great total body move. You work your legs, core, and lungs. This is one of my new fave moves.
