If you're craving a quick cardio workout, let me introduce you to your new best friend: YouTube. These seven videos (all 100 percent free) are guaranteed to pump up your heart rate and get you sweating, all in just 10 minutes or less. Even better? Each one requires no equipment but your own body (and maybe a mat or some comfy floor), so you can get sweating from the comfort of your own living room, dorm room, bedroom, garage — you get the picture. Just click play and grab a towel to mop yourself up afterwards.
Fast, fresh, and upbeat, this quick Tabata workout incorporates running, jumping, squats, and fast-paced ab moves to leave you dripping by the end.
This running-inspired workout has all the leg work and heart-pumping power of a long trail run. Think high knees, jump squats, and skater jumps — aka major leg burn!
Don't let the beachy vibe of this video fool you. It's 10 minutes of lunge pulses, squat jumps, mountain climbers, and planks; in other words, majorly challenging!
The quick, simple moves in this video hit every muscle group, and if you keep up the fast pace, you'll have the sweat dripping off of you to prove it.
This is a true full-body workout: you'll feel the burn in your abs, legs, glutes, and arms while you push your heart rate to the max!
Cassey Ho from Blogilates dubbed this the "Silent Death" workout because there's no jumping or high-impact moves (making it perfect for dorms and apartments!), but it's still so challenging. Get ready for creative kicking moves and a slow, intense burn!
This fast workout has tons of options and modifications to suit every fitness level, so you can slow things down when you're feeling tired, then push it to full capacity when you're ready to go.
