To reap the rewards—increased calorie burn, strength, power, blissful endorphin high—truncated workouts must be insanely intense. So, we asked a team of Equinox trainers and instructors what they would do with just 20 minutes. Here is the latest in the <a href=/articles/2014/07/20-minute-outdoor-hiit>series</a>. <div>The Pro: Jenn Hogg, group fitness manager for Equinox Gold Coast, ACE-certified trainer, certified group fitness instructor (TRX, Kettlebell Concepts, Indo-Row, Schwinn Cycling, Bosu, Circular Strength Training, Flow Fit and Ageless Mobility), six-time medalist with the U.S. Aerobic Gymnastics Team The Club: Gold Coast, Chicago The Workout: The “Dirty Dozen” formula—12 total body moves performed 12 times each, created by Senior National Group Fitness Creative Manager Lashaun Dale—is a quick, efficient way to hit multiple muscle groups in a single routine. “Add in a 3-minute jump rope interval at the beginning and end, and you’ve got a killer strength and cardio workout that targets every inch of your body while helping to increase your muscular endurance and blast fat,” says Hogg. All you need is a pair of challenging dumbbells and a jump rope.Minutes 0-3: Warm-up <a href=/articles/2014/04/jump-rope-video>Jump rope</a> (whatever style you choose), loosening up your joints and creating some heat in your body.Minutes 3-15: The “Dirty Dozen” Set: Perform 12 reps of each move. 1.
