Shred Fat Fast: 20 Minute Bikini Body Blaster
Feel like your fitness has taken a backseat this holiday? No worries—you can totally score toned trouble zones just in time for beach trips, pool parties, and backyard bashes this year!
This condensed 20-minute sweat targets common personal points everyone wants to tighten up. We’re talking lean legs, lifted booties, chiseled cores, and sculpted shoulders ready to rock little shorts, strappy tanks, and itty bitty swimsuits.
This efficient routine maximizes every minute by blending bodyweight strength exercises with heart-elevating cardio bursts, leaving zero rest between diverse moves. By doing upper-body exercises first and then lower-body exercises with little rest in between, you can keep your metabolism at full speed and burn a lot of calories.
You’ll need minimal equipment—just a timer and an optional set of light dumbbells for a little added arm definition. Get ready to work hard as you squeeze an hour's worth of work into 20 intense minutes of fast-paced action that will burn fat and reveal all those beautiful gym-sculpted muscles that have been hiding under the winter fluff!
Let’s get fired up, y'all—no more excuses for keeping that beautiful beach body of yours trapped all season. Scroll down, and let’s start torching it up!
Summer Body Blitz Workout Breakdown
Alright, ready to tackle head-to-toe tone? This circuit-style session works opposing muscle groups back to back with zero rest, targeting every zone that needs attention before bikini strutting season. Think arms, then legs, then core, then cardio for 4 repeat circuits.
Minimal recovery means continually tapping fat stores for fuel while building strength and burning calories simultaneously. You’ll improve muscular visibility, reducing any final stubborn squish, so those sexy muscles shine through beautifully. Talk about fitness and multitasking efficiency!
Here’s exactly how this summer-ready magic maker shakes out:
Circuit 1: Arms
1A) Decline Push Ups x 10–15 reps
Prop feet elevated to fire up pecs and shoulders extra. A narrow grip hits the triceps more.
1B) Bicep Curls w/ Dumbbells x 10–12 reps each arm
Keep 'em light, aiming for 12–20 lbs, depending on arm strength. Control motion!
Circuit 2: Legs + Booty
2A) Curtsy Lunge to Raised Knee x 8–10 reps each leg
Work legs bilaterally, meaning one leg then the other as depicted
2B) Goblet Squat to Standing Calf Raise x 12–15 reps
Hold the dumbbell at your chest, hugging it tight and squatting deeply. Explosively drive up through heels, lifting onto your toes and squeezing calves.
Circuit 3: Core
3A) Forearm Plank with Leg Lift x 10–12 lifts per side
Engage core stabilizing spine neutral. Draw the navel in tight as you slowly lift and lower legs one at a time without rotating hips or sagging the low back.
3B) V-Up x 10-15 reps
Lie back flat and explosively crunch up, guiding your knees toward your chest simultaneously. Control the return to the starting position with care.
Circuit 4: Cardio Bursts
4A) Crossover Lunge Jumps x 8 reps
With hands clasped behind the head, leap feet in and out from hip width to wide, then cross back to the other side in dynamic sequence using power and control. Killer cardio!
4B) High Knees x 30 seconds
Drive knees skyward as cadence permits pumping arms while ripping feet from floor with each rep
Recover 60 seconds between circuits, shaking out muscles, before repeating the series up to 4 total times. Give all-out effort every round until 20 minutes expire for the maximum torch factor!
