Shed the festive calories with this intensive HIIT routine
The great thing about high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is that it can be short yet uber-effective at burning all those extra calories you have consumed during the festive season.
In fact, research shows that interval training burns fat faster and for longer than if you’re just cruising along on that treadmill for a long jog. Of course, a balanced diet is also key to getting a beach-ready body.
Check out this 15-minute, full-body workout that you can do in the comfort of your home using no equipment. Perform each of these exercises for 45 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds. Do three sets of each exercise.
HIIT should not be performed every day. It’s best to schedule a rest day between sessions to prevent injuries. And don’t forget to warm up!
Raise your right knee till it is parallel to the ground, then do the same with your left knee. Repeat this as quickly as possible.
