What you need

Steps

  1. Clear a space about 2 metres square, put on supportive shoes and set a timer you can see. No equipment is needed for this session.

  2. Begin with the 5 minute warm up. March on the spot, roll your shoulders and loosen your hips and knees before the pace picks up.

  3. Start round 1. Work for 30 seconds and rest for 10, staying on your feet the whole time with no squats or lunges.

  4. Keep the same 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off timing through round 2. Lift your knees a little higher or pump your arms harder.

  5. Hold the rhythm for round 3, stepping side to side and reaching overhead. Shrink the arm range if you start to feel breathless.

  6. Push through round 4 at the same pace. Stay light on your feet and keep your knees soft rather than locked.

  7. Finish with the cool down. Walk on the spot, then stretch your calves, thighs and shoulders while your breathing settles.

Tips and common mistakes

Do the warm up even when you are short on time, since cold muscles make the faster rounds harder.

Keep your knees soft and land quietly to protect your joints during the quicker stepping.

Sip water between rounds rather than stopping mid interval.

Stop and rest if you feel dizzy or sharp pain, and check with a doctor before starting if you have an injury or health concern.

Questions

Do I need any equipment for this workout?

No. It is all standing bodyweight cardio, so you only need floor space, shoes and something to time the intervals.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes. There are no squats, lunges or jumps, and you can slow the arm and leg movements whenever you need to.

How many calories does it burn?

The creator estimates 200 to 250 calories, but your actual burn depends on your body size, effort and fitness level.
