Hello Everyone!
Here is a workout with some of my favorite exercises. This workout engages your legs, arms, and abs. The style of the workout is HIIT. That stands for High Intensity Interval Training. This is one of the best ways to burn fat. I like HIIT because you can get it done in a short amount of time (less than 30 min), rather than being on the elliptical for an hour or more.
Always warm up and stretch before working out! An example of this would be a 5-10 minute walk on the treadmill. Another good way of warming up is to do dynamic stretching: Walking lunges with a twist, body weight squats, high kicks, and leg swings. A dynamic warm up is supposed to be slow and controlled, to activate your muscles and get them ready to work!
You can do this workout anywhere! Home, a park, the gym, the beach, anywhere! It is very important to TIME the workout. Use a watch, the clock on your phone, or a timer app. The rest periods are supposed to be SHORT. The work periods are only 30 seconds! Do the exercise as many times as you can in those 30 seconds. You can do it! Push yourself.
