Description: W8/D2 HIIT CARDIO

This workout is going to require a little more than the other cardio circuit. Be prepared for some jumping. For added comfort it’ll help to wear comfortable shoes, or use a mat.

Here’s a quick HIIT circuit with only three movements. I like doing this cardio circuit when I’m short on time, but want a high intensity workout. 

To keep up your heart rate, try not to rest in-between exercises.

- Start by standing with your feet together
- In one motion, jump, putting your feet out to the side, and raise your arms above your head 
- Immediately reverse the motion by jumping back to the starting position 
- That’s one rep
- Increase speed as you feel comfortable

Jumping Jacks

- Start with feet together
- Jump one foot back and the other foot forward lowering until knees are 90 degrees
- Quickly jump your back foot forward and front foot back

Switch Lunges

- Start in standing position
- Run in place with high knees for time or reps
- Increase speed as you feel comfortable

This workout as amazing!!! I loved that my heart rate stayed up the entire time and zero jumping was involved! 😁

Great quick workout! I’m a stay at home mom of two under two (just shy of a year apart) and this was quick enough to fit in during my youngest child’s nap while the other ate a snack and watched a quick show. Took me a minute to figure out the timers on the app but once I got the hang of it it went really well.

This workout was intense. If I’m being honest… when I first looked at the videos I was like oh I totally got this only to quickly learn I totally didn’t 🤣 definitely going to be feeling this one tomorrow!

Ok this was challenging but I loved every minute of it! Worked my back, core, glutes, and arms. I feel great.

W3/D1 No Jumping Cardio

Oh man! I still have to modify the jumping jacks but I broke a sweat and got my heart rate up. I felt that was a very achievable workout while still being very challenging! My muscles sure felt it!

W3/D2 Lightweight Legs

Woo! Love the quick workout as a stay at home mom of a one and two year old. I used two 5lb dumbbells… the prayer pulses were a great finish exercise.

I don’t know what happened to me but I could hardly get through it all WITHOUT weights! Ha! Great workout even still!
