Good morning everyone and welcome to motivational Mondays! This week I am back in Houston...I was hoping to have a video for you all but this weeks exercise does not really need my face! You can do these on your own...try one or try them all.
HIIT is code for high intensity interval training....this means short cardio bursts, high fat burning and high calorie burning in the shortest time possible!
Ever get bored of running on the treadmill or jogging in the park? Walking in the neighborhood or doing an hour spin class? Well HIIT training can be a great way to get an amazing workout in about 20 minutes or so!
So here are a few routines for HIIT...add these routines 3-4 days a week along with your ab routine and weight routine. You can do one routine or try all of them on different days of the week! This is a great addition to your workout that will allow you to burn more fat and calories than a regular cardio routine!
Good luck and stay motivated!!!

1. Run as fast as you can on the treadmill for 30 seconds and rest for 10 seconds..repeat this for a total of 15 times
