Real talk: How many of these fitness personality traits ring true for you?

  • You love feeling like you’re part of a fit fam, but you don’t always have the time to make it to a group class.
  • You’re all about pushing your limits with high-intensity training, but can also get down with a rest day.
  • A good playlist is the key to making you hustle hard and elevate your heart rate.

If you can relate to any of those, you’re in luck. We’ve partnered with Barry’s to give you an at-home version of its signature HIIT classes. The best part? We’ve outlined a four-week plan that’s perfect for sharing with friends, so you can challenge them to sweat it out with you even if you live miles apart! It’s all about keeping each other accountable, right? Whether you want to work out from the comfort of your own home or sweat it out at the gym, these moves are easy to implement in a small space. Each day outlines the equipment you will need, including a resistance band, a mini band, dumbbells, a sand ball, or just your own bodyweight.
