As so many workouts have moved into the home – likely due to gyms closing and COVID-19 fears, many of us have lately noticed a huge boom in the online fitness industry. Unsurprisingly, this year in particular has also brought a lot of attention to Instagram Fitness Influencers which is why we have brought you an intermediate workout routine to do at home.
Many fitness coaches in the health and wellness field use their Instagram as a way to share workouts, exercises for a particular goal, and even their journey to a healthy lifestyle. Many times, you can find an influencer’s entire workout routine and ideas on their Instagram pages for inspiration to add to your workouts.
Today, we are talking all about those influencer workout routines. Whether you’re interested in a 5-day weight-lifting split at the gym or need a quick yet effective at-home workout, this list has it all! While each of these influencers is a fitness guru of sorts, this comprehensive list includes various workout styles that can apply to all skill levels and muscle groups, so if you’re looking for an intermediate workout routine, this article has got you covered.
Intermediate Workout Routine: 5-DAY WORKOUT SPLIT
Workout Level: Beginner-Advanced
Alessandra Scutnik (@AlessandraScutnik) is a certified fitness trainer and Balance Athletica Leader. She shares workout routines, fitness tips, nutrition advice, and encouragement through her Instagram feed. Her most recent routine includes a five-day split: two upper body days, two lower body days, and one day for a full body routine.
Recently, she shared a video of six movements included in her lower body day, which can apply to any skill level. This routine touches on each muscle group in the lower body, including the quads, glutes, and hamstrings. “This workout with six movements can be as easy or as hard as you make it,” says Alessandra. Each of the movements can be made harder by adding more weight, sets, or reps! Alessandra encourages her followers to push themselves to see what they are capable of! Her lower body day routine is as follows:
- Weighted Barbell Squats
- Dumbbell Romanian Dead Lifts with a Pulse
- Banded Hip Thrusts with Barbell
- Leg Extensions
- Dumbbell Frog Pumps
- Dumbbell Sumo Squats

Tayler shares healthy meals, positive mindset tips, and fitness routines on her Instagram page. In a recent post, she described her love for total body workouts that use either a cable machine or no equipment at all. This is a very efficient way to crush your workout while hitting all of your muscle groups.
As Tayler puts it, these total body routines are a simple way to “get the job done”! She does five rounds of the following workout with a 60-second rest in between.
- Romanian Dead Lift & Squat Combo

However, like many of us in 2020, she has been completing some home workouts while gyms have been closed.
