Hello My Dear Darling Friends!

Do hiit workouts ever get easier?  My guess is probably not and I guess that is a good thing.  It takes boldness and practice to be able to push yourself hard.  I used to always shy away from hiit workouts because they made me feel out of shape, but I am glad that I am finally conquering that fear.  My friend Mahea showed me a hiit warm-up that she does on the treadmill and from there I have taken off with it.

Today’s Workout is: Leg Day + Hiit

• 3 x 20 Body weight Hip Thrusts
• 3 x 20 Body weight Full Squats
• 3 x 20 Body weight Back Extensions
• 1 x 30 Side Lying Clams

My legs were still sore from Saturday’s sprint session on the elliptical / treadmill.  My calves are still sore from that workout.  I must have gone extra hard that day!

Hiit: 45 sec. + 15 sec. rest

1. Butt Kicks
2. Jump Squats
3. Burpees
4. Mountain Climbers
5. Side Lunges
6. Jumping Lunges

*Complete this circuit twice*

Hiit for Abs:

• Mountain Climbers- 40 seconds
• Forearm Plank- 20 seconds

Rest- 1 min.

• Plank Jacks- 40 seconds
• Forearm Plank- 20 seconds

Rest- 1 min.

• Lateral Plank Walk- 40 seconds
• Forearm Plank- 20 seconds

*Complete this circuit twice*

I finally installed a tabata timer app on my phone and I think it made the workout harder.  I must have been cutting a few seconds off before.  This timer will keep me honest 😉
