In this third at home training session, instead of segregating the muscle groups into a variety of different workouts, I wanted to offer a quick and easy full body session allowing you to work on all of the key muscle group in one workout. With the HIIT session format in this session you will be working at high intensities throughout, with short times to rest between exercises, but then a longer break between sets. This style f training will allow you to test yourselves in both your muscular and endurance and your cardio, making it an ideal session if you're tight on time, and couldn't get out on that run you had planned. In order to do this you will need no equipment, just yourself and any training partners you may have in the house with you.
THE FORMAT.... Carry out each of these exercises for a total of 1 minute, while getting in as many repetitions as you postally can. Test yourselves and really try and keep that mind focused (mind over matter). Remember everyone Is stronger than they think, so power through these stations, giving your absolute max! Between exercises take a 15 second break, then once you have been through all of the movements, you will have completed 1 set. Simply repeat this twice for a full body blast in around 20 mins!
