Skip the run — blast through calories with two dumbbells and this 20-minute HIIT workout

Last year running was all the rage and it’s only set to get even more popular this year, as one of the top 2025 fitness trends. But just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t mean you have to. If pounding the pavement isn’t your cup of tea then Chris Hemsworth’s trainer, Luke Zocchi, will help you sear through fat with his 20-minute workout.

You’ll need a pair of dumbbells, plus maybe some water and a towel, as this workout combines cardio moves and strength exercises. This is also known as ‘high-intensity resistance training’ — ‘HIRT’ for short. Just like HIIT, the exercises are high-intensity but, instead of just focusing on sweaty cardio exercises, weights are included too, helping to further fire up your metabolism to burn more calories, while also building your strength.
