Studies have shown that a HIIT session of just 15 minutes can burn more calories than jogging on a treadmill for over an hour. HIIT also helps to improve cardiovascular health, lower cortisol, and boost metabolism. Sounds almost too good to be true, right?
Now that we know what HIIT is and its benefits, how can we structure a workout that will burn an hour’s worth of calories in under 30 minutes? Follow along as Muscle Club breaks down the 30-Minute HIIT Workout You Can Do Indoors.
When people think of HIIT, they often imagine vigorous sprints uphill, but in reality HIIT can be done just about anywhere you have an open space and with minimal to no equipment. Remember, the goal of HIIT is to train maximally with short breaks of 15 seconds in between sets to elevate your heart rate.
This HIIT session has five exercises. We are going to do five rounds of each with a 15-second rest in between. Follow along with the workout below!
- 20 pushups
Rest 15 seconds - 30 air squats
Rest 15 seconds - 20 burpees
Rest 15 seconds - 30 chair dips
Rest 15 seconds - 50 high-knee sprints on the spot
Rest 30 seconds and repeat: 5 rounds or 30 minutes, whichever comes first
This HIIT session is designed to increase fat loss, but the additional strength movements of the dips and air squats will also help to increase muscle tone and lead to better body composition.
