If you’re anything like me, the first 7 minutes on the elliptical are the most productive, and after that, it’s a bit of a struggle—especially if I forget my Us Weekly or headphones. And with bikini season here and multiple beach trips on the horizon, I decided it was time to step up my gym game. So now, on lunch break days, I try to fit in 30 minutes of cardio followed by a 10-minute arm workout (see below).
The trick I’ve learned is that if I don’t have a workout planned, I’ll just hop on the elliptical or treadmill and mindlessly watch the timer tick down. So, I’ve been scouring the internet for some killer HIIT workouts for the elliptical and treadmill, and after combining a few I liked, I created my new 30-Minute Summer Butt Elliptical Workout! It’s been a game-changer for keeping me motivated and getting results!
The colors designate which area of the legs & booty you’re workin.
- Blue = Glutes
- Red = Hamstring & Glutes
- Green = Calves, Hamstring & Glutes
- Purple = Hamstring & Glutes
I am quite proud of this crazy HIIT challenge I put together and it is definitely harder than it looks. Plus it keeps you super busy and distracted since you are constantly changing the settings on the machine. I couldn’t even read a magazine during this workout but the time flew by!
After that, if I am still motivated, I love doing this quick 10 Minute Arm Workout by Fit Sugar.
