Get ready to run, walk, and move, because this HIIT workout will have you doing a little bit of everything!
HIIT is the name of the game if you’re looking to make the most of your workout time. The whole idea of HIIT workouts is that you work your hardest for a short period of time, then you recover with a lower intensity movement.
For the high-intensity parts, we’ll be doing sprints or dynamic bodyweight movements. It’s so important to give it all you’ve got during these short, yet difficult, parts of the workout. Because soon after, we’ll drop back down to a lower intensity movement.
For the treadmill sets, the lower intensity movement will be walking at an incline (to keep that calorie burn nice and high), and for the bodyweight sets, it’ll be a static movement like a plank or wall sit.
For today’s HIIT workout, you’ll need:
- Your treadmill
- A wall
- A water bottle
- And a positive attitude!
