Description: HIIT Cardio - Run

Don't focus on your pace here. Instead, give me a good solid effort through work and rest periods. Give me everything you've got in the tank!

Leg swings are a great way to prepare your hips and lower body for adding weight during your workout. Make sure you alternate between each leg during the leg swings.
So this warmup would go like this:
-Leg Swing Front to Back - Left Leg - 15s
-Leg Swing Front to Back - Right Leg - 15s

-Leg Swing Side to Side - Left Leg - 15s
-Leg Swing Side to Side - Right Leg - 15s

-Air Squats - 15 reps
Repeat 2x

- Standing straight holding onto a stationary object
- With feet hip width apart
- Swing one leg forward and backward in a single movement 
- Repeating the movement for time/reps
- Switch sides and repeat

Leg Swings - Front to Back

- Stand tall and hold onto a stationary surface
- Raise one leg as far out to the side as possible 
- Allow your leg to swing back down crossing in front of your standing leg
- Repeating the movement for time/reps
- Switch sides and repeat

Leg Swings - Side to Side

- Stand with feet shoulder width apart
- Lower in to the bottom of a squat pushing your hips back and down
- Stand up out of squat to full hip extension keeping your chest up
- Your knees should be inline with your toes

Air Squats

Dynamic Leg Warmup

Choose to run on a treadmill or outdoors. I choose outdoors every time.


When you begin jogging, slowly and gradually increase your speed as you get more comfortable. It's better to start slowly and gradually build up your endurance than to push yourself too hard and risk injury.

Sprint

After you've completed the previous, you're probably already drained (which you should be). Just focus on keeping the body moving without focusing on pace. Do what is slightly uncomfortable.
