This 15-minute weight loss workout mixes cardio bursts with big compound moves to keep your heart rate high and maximize calorie burn. It opens with a short warm-up, moves into a 6-exercise circuit you repeat 2 times, and finishes with a cool-down stretch.

Hit start and the built-in timer calls out every exercise and rest, so you never have to look at a clock. Switch the level below to make it easier or harder.

FAQ

Is a 15-minute weight loss workout enough?

Yes, short sessions work, especially on busy days. 15 minutes done consistently adds up, and you can stack two routines back to back when you have more time.

How often should I do this weight loss workout?

Aim for 3 to 5 times a week, mixed with daily walking. Increase the level once the current one feels easy.

Can beginners do this workout?

Yes. The beginner version uses easier exercise variations and longer rest. Move at your own pace, and keep good form over speed. Pause the timer whenever you need to.

Do I need any equipment?

A single kettlebell. Most people start with 8–12 kg (18–26 lb) for swings and squats, and some moves use bodyweight only.
