9 Mini Workout Ideas From TikTok

The next time you’re brushing your teeth, try a round of calf raises, wall push-ups, squats, and leg lifts, just like TikToker @zallibhai. She notes that quick bursts of movement can provide extra energy while also building your strength and flexibility.

Repeat these moves later on — maybe when you’re watching a show or waiting for something to microwave — and just like that it’ll add up to a full workout.

TikTok user @thefitnesshippie calls this circuit a great workout for beginners. Grab a jump rope and set aside 5 to 10 minutes to do 15 jumping jacks with an added squat, 15 seconds of single-leg balances per side, 20 lateral jumps, and 20 seconds of slow jumps.

Take a 30-second break between rounds, repeat four times, and you’re done! Just like that, you’ll have worked your legs and glutes while also improving your cardio endurance thanks to the jumping.

To work your arms in a pinch, grab a pair of dumbbells and follow along with TikTok user @amy_m_grasso1. Try a round of half moons with an alternating press, an external rotation with a lateral raise, and, finally, an alternating front raise with an upright row. Do each exercise 10 times with control (to get the most benefit) then move on with your day.

For this mini workout from @brittanypomfret, simply roll out a mat and do quadruped hip extensions, a wall bridge with a crunch, and then a round of standing attitude abductions. Do 15 reps of each exercise to effectively work your glutes, hips, and core.

Want to get your blood pumping while zeroing in on your core? Try this session from @btcatarina. In it, you’ll do a few squats before walking your arms forward into a high plank. From there, you’ll work through a full minute of ab-burning plank variations — though it’s short, you’ll definitely feel it.

For a full-body routine, try this mix from @xaqua.thingss. You’ll do 40 jumping jacks, a 35-second plank, a 50-second wall sit, 10 burpees, one minute of running in place, 40 crunches, and five push-ups — so you get a little arm and leg work plus some cardio.

Here’s a routine from @coachtulin that you can do when you’re short on time at the gym. Follow along as you do weighted squats, barbell rows, and dumbbell raises for a quick sweat. For best results, choose a dumbbell weight that starts to feel challenging on your last three reps.

This routine from @kaitlin.a.martin features heel-up core twists, sit-ups with an overhead reach, high plank pull-throughs, and a round of flutter kicks. Do each exercise for 30 seconds with no breaks in between, and repeat four times — or as many times as you’d like — for a cute but spicy sweat session.

TikToker @cosmoniki shared this routine that targets the inner thighs in just five minutes of work. The first move is a side-lying hip adduction. Do as many reps as you can in one minute, then switch sides. Add a leg lift from this position and repeat for one minute on each side. Finish off with one minute of slow squats, then grab a sip of water.

Done and done.
