Quick workouts that can be done during your lunch break

Written by Brendan Modini 

Squeezing in a lunchtime workout can be a great way to break up the day behind a desk. Moving your body at lunch can even get the brain flowing for a more productive afternoon.  

Here are some quick workout options that’ll have you saying ‘see ya later 3.30-itis’. 

Group Fitness 

If you’re working in the city, you’ll find your local club has quick 30-45min group fitness classes during lunch times. Don’t underestimate an express class - you’ll still get a full-body workout and leave with an endorphin high.

Personal Training 

You can’t get a more customised experience than one with one of our personal trainers. If you don’t have a trainer yet, reach out to your local club to book a lunchtime session.  

With a trainer, you’ll feel more accountable and achieve your goals faster.

Circuit 

Focusing on maximum intensity in minimum time, circuit training will have your heart pumping and brain focused in no time. 

Equipment-free circuit workout: 
  1. Pick a handful of exercises, like squats, push-ups, jump jacks, and crunches.  

  2. Complete one exercise for 60 seconds, then make your way to the next back-to-back.  

  3. After one round of each exercise, take a 60-second break and repeat another four times.  

  4. With a 2.5-minute warmup and 2.5-minute stretch, that’s a quick lunchtime workout in exactly 30 minutes.  

Pro tip: leave a spare pair of gym gear in your car or at your desk so you never have an excuse to miss a lunchtime workout.
