Alright, let’s do this!
10 MINUTE FAT BLASTING HIIT WORKOUT
1. 10 HIGH KNEE RUNS + CHEST TO FLOOR
– 1 Minute, Followed by 15-second Rest – Like any great HIIT routine, we are about to get your heart rate up… and quick! Start with 10 high knee runs, where you lift your knees high and keep your core engaged. Without resting at all, move right into the burpee-style variation, where you get your chest to the floor, jumping back up into those high knees right away!
2. PLANK JUMP VARIATION (FEET OUTSIDE HANDS & BACK TO PLANK)
– 1 Minute, Followed by 15-second Rest – Start in a traditional plank, and then jump your feet to hands in one motion. Move those feet back into plank position. Repeat! The pace here is whatever you set. If you want to move as quickly as possible, go for it. If you are looking for a lower impact version, we have an option for you right here in the Youtube workout video (video time: 2:18). The speed at which you are in good form, challenged, and able to stay in motion is the best spot for you. This move may look like all legs but trust me, your shoulders will be burnin’- Keep pushing!
3. IN & OUT PULSING SQUATS
– 1 Minute, Followed by 15-second Rest – Begin with your legs wide (similar to the start of a sumo squat stance) and do three small pulses, up and down. Jump your feet together and do four more small pulses, up and down. Continue the three pulses in both positions (legs apart and together). Those pulses might seem small but after a few, you should feel it. The small motion heats up your muscles and is responsible for major toning so stay engaged with your legs. The lower you go, the more you’ll get out of it!
4. 4 X-JACKS + SHUFFLE AND TAP
– 1 Minute, Followed by 15-second Rest – Start with 4 X Jack jacks. The X Jack is slightly different from a traditional jumping jack because you remove the part where you touch your feet to the floor on the outside of the jack. Instead, you jump from your hands to your side to a jumping jack right back into having your hands on your side, all in one fluid motion! After those 4 x jacks, shuffle three times and tap one hand to the floor. Move the other direction and tap with the other hand. Now, back to those x jumps!
5. 2 LONG JUMPS MOVING FORWARD & BEAST WALK BACK
– 1 Minute, Followed by 15-second Rest – Start with 2 long jumps moving forward. After those big jumps, get into table-top position with your knees off the ground and move your body back using your hands and feet. Once you are back into the original position, move into those long jumps again. As with all these moves, complete this sequence for 1 minute but this time at the end, YOU’RE DONE! Great job challenging yourself and getting through it! If you up for it, feel free to repeat the whole sequence for a major burn.
