The 10-Minute Total Body Workout You Can Do Anywhere

A lot of folks are staying home and practicing social distancing during this scary time. I've been getting a lot of questions from JJFit.com readers who want to workout at home but have limited equipment. In this blog post I show you 10 total body exercises you can do at home using this hip band and a basic resistance band. If you can't make it to the gym hopefully these will keep you fit and sane for the time being.

JJ's 10-Minute Total Body Workout

Perform each of the following 10 exercises for one minute. If one minute is too much, try 45s or 30s. If you have more than 10 minutes, circuit through two or three times for a longer workout. Be sure to do a quick dynamic warmup before you start. In the video I show a few seconds of proper form for each exercise and also demonstrate options for progressions. I've also included an image below the video that shows all of the moves.

  1. Forearm Plank

  2. Side Plank (options: add dips and/or twists)

  3. Lateral Side Steps

  4. Bodyweight Squats (option: hold a heavy object to add load for a goblet squat)

  5. Hip Thrusts

  6. Isometric Hip Extension Hold

  7. Half Kneeling Pull Down (option: combine cables for single arm)

  8. "Yoga Push Ups" (option: use knees to get up and focus on slow movement to the floor)

  9. Standing Row (option: combine cables for single arm)

  10. Band Breaks Across Chest (note: tuck your pelvis and keep your ribcage down)
