This No-Equipment Cardio Workout Takes Just 10 Minutes

Girls….we are talking a no-equipment, just you, all cardio, and sweating buckets kind of workout. The best part? It only takes 10 minutes.

Getting in a cardio workout at home might seem like a challenge especially when we add in “no-equipment” factor.

When I said the word “cardio”….what were your first thoughts?

For me, this usually has a mental picture of a treadmill, elliptical, or even heading outside for a run.

With our gyms and favorite workout places being either locked down or limited, the need to adjust our workouts has become a must and this includes the cardio workouts too!

Today, we tackle this challenge.

This no-equipment cardio workout is a high-intensity interval workout (HIIT) with alternating periods of work and rest. The best part? It’s 10 minutes.

Our challenge today is to create a highly effective, all-cardio, no equipment type of workout and in the shortest amount of time as possible.

This cardio workout can be modified to best meet your fitness level and also be one to grow into a harder workout when you are ready to level up.

For the beginner, the working and rest times may need to be more equal and work up to the full working amount of 45 seconds with a 15 second rest.

You totally get to choose which workout is right for you. Give yourself permission to pick the right one depending on how you are feeling that day. Remember, you want to choose a workout that works for YOU, not one that adds more stress to an already hectic time!

The Workout

home workout – cardio no equipment

This workout is 10 minutes. No, more…no less. I use this as a mental game for me. “I can do anything for 10 minutes”, the voice inside my head says.

Do the moves listed below in order for your selected time interval, resting between moves for your selected rest interval.

  1. Beginner: work for 30 seconds with a 30-second rest

  2. Intermediate: work for 40 seconds with a 20-second rest

  3. Advanced: work for 45 seconds with a 15-second rest

This is the perfect workout for a small space. Just need you and a comfortable spot on the floor. A puppy is optional but does add a whole other level to this workout. 🤣

The Moves include:

  1. High Knees or March

  2. Inchworms with Shoulder Taps

  3. Touch Jacks

  4. Jumping Lunges

  5. Skater Jumps

  6. No Jump Burpees

  7. Mountain Climbers

  8. Bottom Burpee

  9. Plank Jacks with Toe Tap

  10. Plank to Floor – Cobra – Downdog

What the breakdown of the moves? Check out the video below. Each move is broken down with different options to best meet your needs.
