10-MIN FUNCTIONAL CARDIO WORKOUT

ALL LEVELS / functional cardio workout / 10 minutes

Equipment: Dumbbells, stopwatch & exercise mat

There are countless ways to approach a cardio workout. You can head off to our cardio zone and hit our Tomahawk spin bikes, our AMTs or our treadmills (like the Woodway) and sweat it all out with the help of these machines. Alternatively, you can do your cardio the EVO way by integrating it in a whole-body training session. 

That’s what we are about to do with this 10-minute functional cardio workout, designed by Judit Stroj, a personal trainer from Vienna and a dear friend of ours. This is a session for time — it will be helpful to have a stopwatch with you. This workout has only 3 exercises. You will start with 4 reps for each of them. Then, you will and 2 more reps each round. The goal is to do as many rounds as possible in a 10-minute window.  

  1. Jumping squats
  2. Russian sit-ups
  3. Dumbbell hang power clean

Ready for this heart-pumping session? Let’s go!

WORKOUT SETUP

  • 3 exercises
  • 4 reps in the 1st round
  • Add 2 reps every round
  • Perform as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes
  • Equipment: Dumbbells, stopwatch & exercise mat

WORKING OUT FROM HOME? NO PROBLEM.

WORKOUT EXERCISE LIST

10-minutes

1 – JUMPING SQUATS

1st round: 4 reps — add 2 reps every round

  • Stand with feet hip-width apart. Engage the core and set the shoulders slightly.
  • Quickly bend the knees and hips to a squat position as you bend your arms.
  • As soon as you hit the lowest spot, rapidly extend the hips and extend the arms to straighten the body and perform a small jump. 
  • Keep the core tight and remain balanced as you land, allowing the knees and hips to bend slightly to absorb the force. 
  • Repeat for reps or time. 

Note: if you need to downscale this exercise, perform regular squats.

2 – RUSSIAN SIT-UPS

1st round: 4 reps — add 2 reps every round

  • Start in a supine position, with your legs bent and your feet on the floor hip-width apart. 
  • Grab a dumbbell with both hands horizontally, stretching your arms. That’s your starting position.  
  • Engage the core and perform a full sit-up, bringing your arms overhead. 
  • Return to the starting position, with your core engaged all the time, and repeat. 

3 – DUMBBELL HANG POWER CLEAN

1st round: 4 reps — add 2 reps every round

  • Grab two dumbbells and rest them over your shoulder. 
  • Engage the core and maintain your back straight. That’s your start position. 
  • Deadlift the dumbbells between your legs into a hang position. 
  • Then, extend your hips and legs quickly, returning to the start position. 
  • Repeat.
