HIIT it Like an Athlete Workout Challenge!
(The ‘HILAAW Challenge’ for short! 😏)
15-minute workouts, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks!
It’s time to take things up a gear!
Summer is here, and it’s time to have some fun in the sun… ☀️
… If you’re off on holiday, this is the perfect way to maintain your fitness…
… And if you haven’t quite achieved your #SummerBodyGoals, don’t worry, this challenge will accelerate your process.
What is it?
It’s a 4-week fitness challenge consisting of 5 x 15-minute HIIT workouts each week (that’s one each day, 5 days a week).
All the exercises in the challenge require body weight only, so you won’t need any equipment (except an exercise mat if you wish).
Throughout the course of the month, you’ll do the same 5 workouts each week, and if you’re consistent and persistent, you will see and feel the results in your body (both fitness-wise and in your physique).
The Exercises
High knees occur in every workout (hence the “like an athlete” in the name of the challenge). For each workout day, there are 5 exercises paired with high knees, and each day has a particular emphasis:
Day 1: Cardio
Day 2: Core 1
Day 3: Lower Body
Day 4: Core 2
Day 5: Upper Body
Every exercise is performed for 20 seconds, and you get a 20 seconds rest between reps and 1 minute between sets.
This challenge isn’t for the faint-hearted. “HIIT” stands for "high-intensity interval training”, so if you’re not sure this level of exercise is suitable for you, please consult your doctor, and/or try one of my other challenges first.
How do you take part?
You can do this challenge by yourself, at any time, as all the follow-along videos are available in a playlist HERE. But I must admit, challenges really are better with friends. So, why not grab a few people to do it along with you?
