Home workouts are amazing and perfect for you right now if:
- You are avoiding the gym so that you can get home early and find a parking space (Hey, Southie residents!)
- Public Transportation is so jacked up that your life now revolves around avoiding it and you can’t get to your favorite class (Hi, Boston!)
- You don’t have a gym membership and prefer to do your workouts on your own because you’re awesome
- You work two jobs or hours that keep you from getting to a gym during operating hours
- You just started your journey and like privacy
Whatever your situation may be, home workouts are amazing. They keep you from making excuses. Exercise isn’t always about weight loss – it’s about sanity and health during the winter. They don’t have to be a “kick your ass” event to reap one of the many benefits of exercise but this one is sure to do just that.
Home HIIT Workout
- Time: About 12-20 minutes to complete depending on your fitness level
- What you need: A mat and your bad ass self
- Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
- What it works: Cardio, Abs, Butt and Legs, Chest, Back
This workout is a superset reverse ladder. You start with 10 reps of Move A followed by 1 rep of Move B. Without resting, you go back to Move A for 9 reps, then Move B for 2 reps. Then Move A for 8 reps, Move B for 3 reps. Keep reducing your reps of Move A by one rep each round, and increasing your reps of Move B until you have completed Move A for 1 rep and Move B for 10 reps. Get it? If not, watch the video and I’ll explain.
