No equipment needed- just wear comfy gym clothes & sneakers!!
HIIT workouts are pretty awesome- they burn fat, and you get in a great workout in a shorter period of time. I am thinking about adding in a HIIT class to my fall schedule, so let me know if you're interested and you're in the #Sgf area! Classes will be 20-30 minutes, so they are perfect for those of you with a busy lifestyle!! They would include some strength & core, and lots of cardio!
"High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes any workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or even complete rest." - from Shape magazine online.

Friday's 'Training By Jen' HIIT At-Home workout:
Set an interval timer to 50 on, 10 off. No interval timer? You can download one on a free app (I have an iPhone, and use one called "Interval Timer"), or just use a regular timer and pay attention :)
- 50 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of rest.
- Continuous for 15 minutes!!
- Continue each set for the entire 50 seconds!
1) 2 Hand-Release Push-Up's, 10 jumping jacks
2) Burpee into 2 tuck jumps, 2 squats
3) Plank position, Left knee in, left knee out. Repeat on right side.
4) 4- alternating jumping lunges, 6 dips (use a chair, table, etc.)
5) Elbow plank. Hold it! Don't forget to breathe, and keep that core TIGHT!!
Repeat this 3x for an awesome, calorie-burning, sweaty, 15 minute workout! Still have energy? Add in another round or 2 :)
As always- if you have questions about this, please send me a message at trainingbyjen@hotmail.com
