I feel like I haven’t done a workout video in forever! Here’s a HIIT session that can be done anywhere. No equipment necessary for this workout! A couple things to remember while doing this workout.
While doing squats, keep your back straight & chest out. Make sure your knees are not going past your toes.
While planking, keep your butt DOWN and back straight. Keep your neck in a neutral position with your spine to prevent strain.
While doing butt kickers, make sure your heels are kicking your butt with every rep. As fast as you can with good form to get your heart rate up.
While doing jumping jacks – speed is key! Keep good form and really get your heart rate up.
It’s important to keep good form, while maintaining good speed. That’s what HIIT is, getting your heart rate up and bringing it back down is what helps you burn fat quickly. That will be explained more in my post tomorrow about why 30 minute workouts are proven to be the most effective!
I would rather you go slow with good form than compromise your form for speed.
VIDEOS ARE POSTED THERE BEFORE MAKING IT TO THE BLOG.
WORKOUT:
Squat W/ Ab Twist
Bring knee to opposite elbow each time – alternating legs as you go for the full 30 seconds.
Plank Jacks
Keep your back straight and really tighten your core for protection.
Spiderman Plank
Alternating legs – bring knee up as far as possible. Keep back straight and butt down.
Butt Kickers
You should be able to do this one with speed! Get your heart rate up.
Ab Lifts
Bring your legs down without touching the floor and power up. If that’s too hard – Just pulse up without bringing legs all the way down.
High Plank W/ Glute Kickback
Keep back straight and neck neutral. If this is too hard and you are compromising your form, place opposite knee on the ground and kickback from there. Really think about squeezing your glutes at the top.
Switch Legs ^
Jumping Jacks
Finish strong with fast jumping jacks to get your heart rate back up.
Repeat this 4x with a 60 second break between each round.
Let me know how this workout goes for you! I hope you love it!
This is exactly what I need!!! I’ll be honest, the first minute I was thinking, “this won’t be too hard…” By the end I was DYING!!! The length is perfect, I was able to do all the moves, but I definitely got my heart rate up… and man are those Spider-Man planks a killer….
