Fat Burning HIIT Workout - HIIT Cardio with Warm Up (with Low Impact Modifications)

Who’s up for a quick, 17-minute HIIT routine?

Whether you look at the workout and think, “oh, that’s not enough” or “no, I can’t possibly do HIIT” you might be in for a surprise with this one.

For those of you who think it may not be enough, challenge yourself to push your limits (really, push your limits!) for each interval, where you feel like you can’t go any further. Exercises like this, with bursts of all-out exertion, are ironically the fastest way to improve your cardiovascular endurance, and definitely take more out of you than longer duration, steady-state cardio workouts.

If you’ve pushed yourself to the max and still crave more, then you can always tack on a great strength routine that will give you some amazing, long-lasting “afterburn” effects.

On the other hand, if you don’t like HIIT or think it may be too difficult, take a look at the low impact modifications provided throughout the routine. Listen to your body and do what you can. If you pay careful attention to things like range of motion and form, you can get a lot out of a routine like this, while still staying low impact.

So, whatever your initial thoughts may have been reading the title of this routine, who’s up to give it a try? We’d love to hear what you think.
