10-Minute Mood-Boosting HIIT | PS Fitness

This quick HIIT session proves it only takes 10 minutes to brighten your mood. With summer just around the corner, the weather is warmer, the grass is greener, and your workouts should be feeling better than ever. To get those endorphins flowing, Natalie White programmed this quick (but effective) workout to be chock-full of mood-boosting exercises. Think small skips, explosive star jumps, and traveling skater lunges for an energizing burst of cardio. You’ll then build strength with moves like commandoplank holdsand bicycle crunches.

This workout may be quick, but it’ll definitely still get your heart rate up. Throughout the session, White encourages you to push yourself and move with joy. With no equipment required (other than your mat, of course), you can truly follow along from anywhere — in fact, exercising outside in the sunshine is highly encouraged. Expect some light-hearted banter and truly fun exercises, because at the end of the day, the best workouts are the ones you look forward to. Whether you’re in need of a boost, or already at the top of your game, let the movement bring in more smiles, more optimism, and more joy. No matter what, you’ll step off your mat feeling better (and a little sweatier) than before.
