Joe Wicks, aka The Body Coach [1], is all about finding ways to make exercise a part of your everyday life [2], because we all know that going to the gym can sometimes feel like a massive chore. That's why so many of his videos are short and can be done at home. Spare five minutes? Get going. Got 15 minutes while your dinner is in the oven? Whip out the exercise mat. Joe's workouts are quick and easy to learn, but they're certainly not easy to do! HIIT (that's high-intensity interval training [3]) isn't easy, but it gets results. Maybe going to the gym feels like just a little too much to begin with, but you want to build strength and increase your fitness level? If you're not quite ready to jump into Joe's famous 90 Day Plan [4] (with all its many requirements [5]), the videos on his YouTube channel are the perfect introduction to his workouts. We've compiled the very best beginner workouts, with each one getting a little tougher as the days go on (and we've even added in a couple of rest days!). Grab a water bottle and load up the first video — it's time to HIIT it.

How to Warm Up Before a HIIT Session

Wicks doesn't include a warm up in his HIIT videos, but you should still do one before you get stuck in. Don't skip it because the workouts are short, that's how you'll injure yourself.

Absolutely Beginners HIIT Workout

An introduction to HIIT training that's brilliant for total beginners. This one is 20 minutes long, but he talks you through everything.

Low Impact HIIT

A straightforward workout that's "easy on the kneesy" (he says this a lot in his videos). This one is good for beginners or if you're getting back into exercise after an injury. It's 14 minutes long.

Beginners HIIT Workout

We love that so many of Joe's workout videos are low impact and aimed at beginners. This one is 15 minutes.

Easy on the Kneesy Low Impact Combat HIIT

Need to work your upper body and want to give your knees a bit of a rest? This is the workout you need.

20 Minute Cardio & Core HIIT Workout

However hard this workout feels at the time, just know that it'll be over in 20 minutes.

HIIT With Tabata Style Finisher

This workout is broken into two sections: a HIIT full body workout and then a really intense second half. There are burpees in this one, too. Joe Wicks really likes burpees.

15 Moves, 15 Minutes

The title of this one says it all. You'll do 15 moves in 15 minutes. After this you won't do any more moving for quite a long time after.

16 Minute Low Impact No Noise Hotel HIIT

Staying in a hotel but want to work out without annoying the people in the room below? This is for you. It could also be very handy if your downstairs neighbours have kids.

6 Minute Abs

A slightly longer workout than the previous one, another great addition to your HIIT.

7 Minute Abs

Can you guess what this video covers?

8 minute Abs

Eight exercises, 20 seconds on each one, then repeat. It sounds simple, but you might feel differently six minutes in.
