For some, planning out your workouts might seem daunting, especially if you have a longer period of time to fill. Only have a half hour? You can be strategic about it and find quick, yet effective routines that will make the most of those 30 minutes (because time is fleeting, but your fitness goals don't have to be). Take, for instance, this 30-minute running HIIT or this 30-minute butt workout from a trainer [1]. However, if you often only have shorter sessions, being given a full hour to sweat can be intimidating.
You might be thinking the following: How do I split up my time? Should I do cardio and weights? Do I need to target all muscle groups? Can I even work out for an hour straight — an entire episode's worth of Game of Thrones? The answer? Sure, you can! And, ahead, you won't have to figure out what you'll be doing for 60 minutes. Just find an open space, choose an hour-long workout that seems right for you, and follow along. There's a mix of 60-minute boxing-inspired routines, strength training, HIIT, and power yoga flows. Take your pick!
60-Minute Cardio-Boxing Workout From Class FitSugar
This hour-long cardio-boxing session from Class FitSugar is led by Equinox's The Cut [3] co-creator and Boxing and Bubbles [4] creator Christa DiPaolo [5]. It combines kickboxing with boxing moves and bodyweight strength training [6]. For the jabs and uppercuts, you can use small weights (Christa suggests a one-pound dumbbell) or no weights at all.
60-Minute HIIT Cardio and Abs Workout From Fitness Blender
This 60-minute HIIT session will get your heart rate up and also target your abs. It consists of a six-minute cardio warmup, a six-minute cooldown, and a 48-minute Tabata-style workout. That means you'll be doing eight rounds of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off for each exercise. Get ready for moves like mountain climber switch knees, scissor kicks, and plank steps.
