Sweaty HIIT Workout

One of Lisa’s favorite client’s doing the Sweaty Hiit workout this morning.

Sweaty HIIT Workout

For this HIIT workout, you’ll perform the exercises for 1 minute each as a circuit. Rest for 30 seconds to 1 minute between exercises. When you’ve completed the circuit of ten exercises, rest for 1 minute and repeat the circuit for a longer workout.

Beginners, start with 10-20 reps per exercise (instead of 1 minute) and work your way up.

As with all workouts, make sure you’re properly warmed up beforehand, and always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed.
