Hardcore HIIT Workout

This hardcore HIIT workout is probably only for the Advanced and Elite guys and girls among you. That said, don’t feel you can’t have a go at it if you’re not quite at that level.

Ensure you warm up sufficiently before commencing this workout as it is very explosive. It’s best to get the heart rate up and the blood flowing to warm those muscles first.

You will need a jump rope for the first part of this workout, but other than that you need no other equipment. If you don’t have a jump rope then perform mountain climbers with hands on wall instead of on the ground.

This workout is 26 minutes in total and broken into 3 cycles of 4 / 4 / 5 minutes. Perform each cycle twice through before moving on to the next cycle.
