Between meetings, school drop-offs, and Minnesota summer activities, it can be tough for Rochester professionals to squeeze in a workout. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) solves that problem by packing maximum calorie burn into 20-30 minutes.

1. Downtown Dash & Burpees (20 minutes)

Jog 2 minutes, 15 burpees, Sprint 1 minute, Walk 1 minute (repeat 5x).

2. Lunch-Break Ladder (25 minutes)

Perform 10 kettlebell swings + 10 goblet squats. Rest 30 sec. Then 9 swings + 9 squats… down to 1.

3. Evening EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute)

Set a 15-minute timer. At the top of each minute: 8 push-ups, 10 jump squats, 12 mountain climbers.

4. Saturday Sweat Partner Circuit (30 minutes)

Battle ropes, Box jumps, Rowing machine, Plank shoulder taps. Complete 5 rounds.
