HIIT Cardio

• Warm up for 5-10 minutes to get your body ready with some light cardio like jogging or cycling.

• Do short bursts of high intensity exercise like sprints, fast cycling, jumping jacks, etc for 30-60 seconds, followed by periods of rest or lower intensity exercise for 1-2 minutes.

• Aim for 6-10 high intensity intervals in a HIIT workout, adjusting the work/rest durations as needed. Shorter intervals with less rest like 30/60 or 45/90 seconds are very intense!

• Mix up the exercises - try sprints, cycling, rowing, jump rope, burpees, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, etc. Using different exercises works different muscle groups.

• Give maximum effort during the high intensity intervals to spike your heart rate, then recover fully during the rest periods.
