HEY Steemit friends! 

I just wanted to share with you my HIIT workout routine, maybe you have already given it a go or never heard of it. I find this workout great because you can do this in a gym or at home or anywhere you fancy :). 

Why HIIT workouts? 

I really enjoy HIIT workouts for so many reasons; 

1. they can be a short/long workouts (depending on how you feel) 
2. great fat burner 
3. you can do them at home or at the gym (wherever is most convenient for you)
4. bodyweight exercises or dumbbell exercises or even BOTH 

Which body weight exercises?

Okay check out some of the body weight exercises listed below that you can choose from;

• burpees 
• mountain climbers 
• squat jumps 
• tuck jumps 
• ski jumps 
• skaters 
• 1,2,3 tap (moving across the room)
• dribblers 
• high knee jog 
• butt kickers 
• press ups 
• v-sits 

Here are some exercises but there are many more you can choose from but these are the most common and which i find effective. 

What next? 

Okay now the fun part, you have to choose 4 exercises from the list above and perform the each exercise 10 times, 9 times, 8 times until you get to the number 1 (dont worry example is below). 

Once you have chosen them exercises, take a little jog on the spot get a little warm and take some stretches into consideration before you get started.

Wow? sounds intense right? the great thing is you can time yourself or do it without a time and you can go at your own pace. 

If you want to make it more challenging i would suggesting timing yourself !!

My example (Drop Sets) 

The exercises i picked; 

• burpees 
• squat jumps 
• press ups 
• v-situps 

Firstly I would perform burpees, squat jumps, press ups and v-situps. 

10 burpees 

10 squat jumps 

10 press ups 

10 v-sit ups 

___________

9 burpees 

9 squat jumps 

9 press ups 

9 v-situps 

___________

we continue all the way until we get to number 1. 

I haven't mentioned a recovery time? If you are struggling then you can always take a recovery in between exercises but you want to make sure you get straight back to where you left off. 

What do we need?

It would be a great idea to have a bottle of water, mat and towel with you as you will sweat. 

All done?

Make sure you cool down and stretch after the workout :)
