H.I.I.T. Home Workout

By Lisa Vasseur Jarvis

Right now, we are all spending much more time at home due to the Corona virus. Many of us are used to getting our workout in at the gym and are now trying to find ways to stay active at home.

I want to share a quick workout with you that is perfect for you to do at home. You don’t need any equipment, just your own body weight!

This is a H.I.I.T. workout, or High- Intensity Interval Training. It is a cardiovascular exercise strategy alternating short periods of a cardio exercise, followed by short periods of a strength exercise with a short break in-between.

You can modify it by how many times you repeat the list of exercises. Get your phone or stopwatch ready!  You will get your heart rate up and build strength as well!

Begin with 1 minute of stretching.
*30 seconds of jumping jacks (10 second break)
*30 seconds of body weight squats (10 second break)
*30 seconds of mountain climbers (10 second break)
*30 seconds of pushups (10 second break)
*30 seconds of high-knee running in place (10 second break)
*30 seconds of holding a forearm plank (10 second break)
*30 seconds of crunches (10 second break)

Now take a 90 second break, get hydrated and repeat! Try to do the list 2-4 times depending on your level of endurance.
Finish with a one minute stretch
Great work!
