30 Minute At Home HIIT
No gym or equipment needed
We’re big fans of high intensity interval training (HIIT). HIIT workouts involve repetitive bursts of intense exercise followed by periods of rest/recovery; for instance, sprint for 30 seconds, walk for 30 seconds and repeat. Because you’re exerting so much energy during the interval periods, you can get a great workout in less than half of steady-state exercises; making HIIT an efficient way to get in a great workout on even on your busiest days.
Research has shown that HIIT workouts can bring a whole slew of health benefits — from accelerated fat burn, to improved body composition (hello abs!) and enhanced cardiovascular health. If you didn’t see Medical News Today’s recent article, it provides a great and to-the-point overview of the benefits of HIIT training. Check it out here.
Here’s a great workout for you to try — no equipment required. Just download a timer app (we use “Interval Timer” — free in the app store), set your time interval to 30 seconds and total length to 30 minutes and you’re good to go!
