Your HIIT Workouts
09:29Get the most out of your cardio workout with these two high-intensity interval routines.
Maximize your cardio workout with high-intensity interval training. Four times per week, choose one of these HIIT cardio plans and perform it after the strength portion of your program. Before you get started, warm up for five minutes with light activity, such as walking or jogging. And, FYI: “rest” means that you stop altogether. Option 1: In the Gym Try this interval workout on a treadmill, elliptical or recumbent bike.
| Sprint for 1 minute |
| Rest for 1 minute |
| Sprint for 45 seconds |
| Rest for 45 seconds |
| Sprint for 30 seconds |
| Rest for 30 seconds |
| Sprint for 15 seconds |
| Rest for 1 to 2 minutes |
Repeat the entire sequence 3 to 5 times. Option 2: Take It Outside Find an area with enough room for you to run straight for 30 to 45 seconds (when running for one minute, turn around when you reach the end and sprint back in the other direction). Continue the sequence in this manner. Working against the wind and elements can help you burn even more calories than you would at the gym!
