25 minute workout you can do ANYWHERE

Let's face it, there are days when there doesn't seem to be enough time to get to the gym.  That's why I came up with a workout that you can do anytime and anywhere.  AND it's only 25 minutes long!!!

I based this program on some of the workouts from P90X3 and T25 and  from my favorite instructor at the gym, Monica.  This is a progressive workout.  Progressive workouts start with an easier exercise and build up to a harder exercise.  By using your own body weight, you will be building strength and endurance.

With this exercise you will start off with hard (level 7), then harder (8), and progress to hardest (9).  Think of a level 1 as sitting on your couch and a level 10 as running for your life. You will do each exercise for 30 seconds:  for example jog for 30 second at level 7, butt kicks for 30 seconds at a level 8 and high knees for 30 seconds at a level 9.

So grab your timer and work at your own pace!  If you aren't able to progress to levels 8 or 9 yet, that's ok.  Do as many reps as you can at the higher levels and then drop back down. 



  1. Jog, butt kicks, high knees (elapsed time=1:30) 
  2. squat, squat jumps, frog jumps (3:00)
  3. low plank, up/down, chin/forehead (4:30)
  4. push ups, hand tap, one footed (right then left foot) (6:30)
  5. burpee, 180, tuck jump (8:00)
  6. jumping jack, star jack, air jacks (9:30)
  7. mountain climbers one foot (switch feet after 30 seconds), knee to opposite shoulder, Everest (11:30)
  8. high plank with hip dips, Hindu push up, triceps push ups (13:00)
  9. skaters, touch the floor, plyo (14:30)
  10. alternating lunge back, add knee, add kick (16:00)
  • Do these on the left side and then repeat on the right side
  1. prisoner sumo squat plus knee, add side crunch, add hop (19:00)
  2. side lunge, side lunge knee, side lunge knee and jump (22:00) 
  3. super girl squat, airplane arms, fly arms (25:00)
There you have it.  An awesome workout in 25 minutes flat!
