Kick off your week with a sweaty SUPER SETS workout.
Another time saving and effective type of workout is super sets.
A superset is when one set of an exercise is performed directly after a set of a different exercise without rest between them. After each super set rest for one and a half to two minutes.
Strength exercises 30 seconds each.
Cardio execises 20 seconds each.
After each Strength/Cardio set rest for one and a half to two minutes.
Equipment needed: timer, hand weights
Remember:
- Don’t skip the warm-up or cool-down.
- Use proper body alignment and good form.
- Gradually increase intensity and/or repetitions.
- Weights and intensity should be based on your fitness level.
Beginner: Repeat each set 2 times
Intermediate: Repeat each set 3 times
Advanced: Repeat each set 4 times

Carla, you’re awesome and your energy is contagious!
Love it! I am in need of a workout today and this just might be what I need! 🙂 Thanks for sharing! Supersets are one of my favorite ways to exercise.
Happy to share the workout Heather! I had not idea I would enjoy creating workouts as much as I do.
Ooohhh, this looks like a good one! I love super sets, and combining a bit of HIIT in there too.
2 of my favorite things 🙂
Now that’s how we should start a Monday!!!
and Tues Wed Thurs!!
Looks like a great workout! Anything with mountain climbers and jump squats is no joke:)
Lisa, jump squats kill the quads no matter how often I do them. #beastmode
i love super sets!
Hi Linz, super sets and HITT have been my go to workouts!
I love how easy this can be tailored to individual ability levels.
One of my goals is to create workouts that anyone can do with a few modifications. Thanks Kathryn!
Super sets are favorite. They’re pretty much the only way I lift weights other than circuits.
Hi Megan, super sets and HITT have been my go to workouts! I don’t see that changing any time soon 🙂
Great workout! Super sets are the best!
Hi Holly, super sets and HITT have been my go to workouts! Everyone can find 30 minutes right 🙂
I do sometimes skip the cool down I know not good! Have gotten a little lax on the stretching too. Happy Monday
You’re not alone Deborah. When time is short the cool down and stretch are the first things to go.
Yes, big fan of supersets here. I love the efficiency of them!
Same here Elle! Everyone can find 30 minutes in there day to MOVE! Right?
I should do this today. I want to do this today!!
Did you do this today 😉
this is a fantastic workout – thanks for sharing this. definitely pinning it!
Happy to share Courtney and thanks for pinning 🙂
Awesome!
I am so bad at cross training. I run rather consistently, but I tend to let the rest go by the wayside. I love the routines you offer. So concise and they seem so easy (to fit in, not to do)!
I think cross training is a downfall of many runners. Maybe not but it seems like it. Thanks Jenn! No go cross train!
This looks intense! I am doing power jacks, jump ropes , then high kicks last- looks like I need to add a strength to the list! Happy Monday!
Mary Beth, adding strength does a body good 🙂 What is a power jack?
Thanks for this!!
My pleasure Amy!
Such a great workout, especially for traveling because it’s quick and would work so well in a hotel room!
Hi Laura. That makes this workout perfect for summer 🙂
I love supersets :). Great post!!! Hope the CPT training is coming along.
I’ve been getting sweaty recently with the new yoga class I’m taking. Who knew?!
Hi Lori. Super sets and HIIT have been my go to workouts. Serious sweating with yoga and that’s even if it’s not hot.
No excuses with this one!
BOOM!
Love this! I totally suck at jump squats.
Thanks Carmy. I’m sure you don’t suck at jump squats ha!
Great workout! Pinning it for future reference!
Hi Toni. Thanks for sharing the workout love!
great workout!! we do a lot of these in the small group training I’ve been doing the past 6 weeks.
Hi Mar. How is the small group training going? Still using similar workouts?
Awesome workout! I love cardio and strength combo workouts. For some reason squat + press are killer for me!
The more muscles we can move at one time the better 🙂 Thanks Patty.
Yup! I like supersets in my workouts a lot Especially when I am doing upper body exercises.
Hi Lauren, super sets and HITT have been my go to workouts! I don’t see that changing any time soon. I’m enjoying them too much and getting it done!

Hi Rachel, have you tried super sets? What did you think?
Oooh! I would definitely be up for some super sets! Cardio and strength together makes a great workout!
I know! You can’t beat the combination for getting the workouts done. Boom!
