I just did a fantastic HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workout and thought I'd share it with you all.
What you need:
- Enough room for the length of your body and as high as you can reach
- A Kettlebell (or dumbbell)
- Yourself
Conditions:
- 5 rounds
- 10 repetitions
The movements:
- Burpees
- Kettlebell swings
- Kettlebell thrusters
- Bicep curls (10 each arm)
- Sit ups
Try and keep your rest between rounds low. 30-60 seconds is long enough. This should be a quick and intense workout.
I used a 16kg kettlebell but the weight you'll be using is based solely upon yourself (or what you own). If you don't have a kettlebell then dumbbells can make a good alternative. If you have neither then stay tuned for future workouts by subscribing to this blog. Workouts are customisable, if 10 reps is too low, do 15, if 10 reps is too high, do 5 or 8. Keep it intense, that's the key!
Top tip! In later rounds take your time with the swings and curls, these are your 'active recovery' movements, breathe, recover and destroy the burpees and thrusters.
