Overview
Welcome to the Advanced HIIT Workout! This session is designed for those looking to push their limits with a high-intensity interval training workout that lasts 20 minutes. The workout includes exercises that require some equipment. Be sure to have a timer handy and get ready to sweat!
Warm-Up (3 Minutes)
The warm-up is crucial for preparing your body for intense exercise. Begin with these dynamic movements to increase your heart rate and loosen up your muscles:
1. Jumping Jacks – 1 Minute: Keep a brisk pace to elevate your heart rate.
2. High Knees – 1 Minute: Drive your knees up to your chest with quick footwork.
3. Arm Circles – 1 Minute: Alternate between forward and backward circles to mobilize the shoulders.
Workout Routine (15 Minutes)
Perform each exercise for 40 seconds, followed by 20 seconds of rest. Complete three rounds of the circuit below:
1. Kettlebell Swings: Use a moderate-weight kettlebell. Focus on using your hips for momentum.
2. Burpees with Push-Up: Combine a full burpee with a chest-to-floor push-up to increase intensity.
3. Dumbbell Thrusters: Use a pair of dumbbells. Perform a squat followed by an overhead press.
4. Box Jumps: Explosively jump onto a stable box or platform and step back down.
5. Plank to Push-Up: Start in a plank position on your forearms, then push up to a high plank one arm at a time.
Cool Down (2 Minutes)
Once the workout is complete, take a few minutes to cool down and stretch your muscles:
1. Standing Quad Stretch: Hold each leg for 20 seconds to stretch the front of the thigh.
2. Forward Fold: Gently reach towards your toes to stretch the hamstrings.
3. Shoulder Stretch: Cross one arm across your body and gently press to stretch the shoulder.
Final Note
Remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body. If necessary, modify or rest as needed to maintain proper form and avoid injury. Consistency is key, so keep up the great work!
