5 Minute Workout Part 3: Full Body

20/20 Burnout part 3
For part 3, I thought we would do a full body burnout! Part 1, we did squats. For part 2, we did lunges. So why not add a full body 5 minute workout to the mix!? If you add all 3 of these into a 15 minute workout, think of the burn!! Oh, it would be good! Actually, I did this and it was great. I added it to my 12 minute Cardio workout for a nice quick workout!
If you missed part 1 and part 2, you definitely need to check them out. I know those are complete squat and lunges workouts and this one has a squat and lunge but hey, I said full body here! haha This one has some core and upper body work as well! And this workout is great! Not only will it work stability but it will also work your strength!
This One is TOUGH!
I will be honest with you, even I had some issues doing this workout. I am NOT the best at push ups and this was not easy to do on my toes. It takes a lot of chest strength and that is something I am continuing to work on! So I did these on my knees and it still was a good BURN! My goal is to continue doing these and work my way up to my toes!
Also, since I have a long torso, I get stuck in certain spots during sit ups so I have a couple videos that I will post on IG that show me trying so hard to get up. hahahahaha!
5 Minute Total Body Workout
For part 3, you will still do every move for 40 seconds and the main goal is 1 rep! To make this a 5 minute workout, only take a 10 second break in between exercises! I’ll go over the basics again, just in case you missed part 1 and part 2!
You will slowly lower yourself down for 20 seconds then you will slowly raise back up for 20 seconds. For example, while doing a squat, you would slowly squat back low and when the first 20 seconds is up, you should be pretty low. Then the next 20 seconds you would raise back up, pushing through your heels, to standing.
You will be doing 5 moves (with one being two-sided). This will have all basic moves that anyone at any level can do. If you want to make it more of a challenge, you can definitely add weights!

I’m a busy mom and always looking for new ways to squeeze a workout in. This is super convenient and something I can do either before bed or as soon as I get up before the little one. I love that you show exactly how to do them.
Oh man, this sounds like a tough but great workout! But thatโs how I like it because I can easily find the time to fit it in during the day.
I love that this is something I can do at home while my kiddo naps. Love a good full body workout!
This is a great series to help people with a simple and straight forward daily workout routine. This full body workout uses your own weight as resistance and there is no need for mechanical equipment or free weights.
Quick work outs are my kinds of workouts! As a stay at home mom I need something simple but effective def pinning this for the new year after all the feasts are gone lol
Love the fact that it doesn’t require equipment. My fave would be bridges though. How often do you recommend doing these?
I do bridges everyday as part of my 30 day challenge! They are so good for core strength! ๐

I don’t know about fun…LOL! I do like lunges, and sit ups, though I need an ab mat to do them these days so I don’t hurt my back.
I love this workout, particularly I can do it at home which makes it even better. Thanks for sharing
Have not tried this workout yet, but I think I’d like the bridges the best. So glad to see this as we’ll be traveling over the holidays, and this looks like something you can do pretty much anywhere!
I love a quick and easy workout that I can do anywhere! This looks so perfect for me, I can’t wait to try it!!
Great post and good use of video
Thinking about adding this to the squats and lunges make my quads ache (in a good way). This is such an effective way to up the heart rate and work the muscles.
This is amazing, I like how u provide video tutorials as you explain with words. Im sure will be handy for quick workouts every morning.
I have recently been looking for a full body workout and now I know what I will be doing.
This is a good one! ๐
