20 min must try HIT workout

Don’t have the time to visit the gym? We have the ultimate 20 min workout that will have you sweating.  You may not feel 20 minutes is enough but short HIIT has been proven more effective than steady-state aerobic exercise (like jogging). HIIT may also be more effective than weight training alone, at the very least from a time standpoint.

This is largely because HIIT challenges both your cardiorespiratory fitness and your musculoskeletal fitness, bringing about improvements to your heart, lungs, muscles and nervous system. 

For a heart raiser try this workout 40 seconds on 20 seconds rest:

• Begin standing tall with your feet shoulder width apart.
• Jump forward and land in a squat position.
• Holding the squat, walk backward to the start position, creating a little pulse as you do so then repeat

• Feet shoulder width apart with your hands behind your head.
• Drop into a squat position.
• One leg at a time, drop your knees to the floor.
• Return to the standing squat and hold the squat while repeating the move

• Start by standing tall with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart. 
• Take a big step to the side and keep your torso as upright as possible, lower until the knee of your leading leg is bent at around 90°, keeping your trailing leg straight. 
• Push back up and return to the starting position before repeating the opposite side.

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart. 
• Lift up your left knee to your chest.
• Switch to lift your right knee to your chest.
