Hot weather or lots of rain could mean spending more time indoors. This could mean we don't get the amount of activity we would like outdoors to stay motivated; you can do a HIIT workout to ensure you get enough movement in, get the heart rate up and keep those joints lubricated.
HIIT (or high-intensity interval training) can be appropriate even for beginners! Working with a personal trainer and using your heart rate as a guide will always be the best option. A personal trainer can help give you movements specific to your body and goals while watching your heart rate to ensure you work hard and recover long enough to see a positive training effect without getting injured.
Option 1:
Perform four rounds of each move for 30 seconds with one minute of rest. Take a 1-2 minute break between each round.
March in place
Squats
Pushups against the counter( kitchen table or sink)
Step up (onto stairs, ottoman, or chair)
Side steps or shuffles
Option 2:
Complete 4-5 rounds. Perform each move for 40 seconds with 20 seconds of rest in between. Take a 1-2 minute break between each round.
Jumping jacks
lunges
Mountain climbers
Kettlebell swings (dum bell)
Tabletop crawls
Set a goal for yourself, like completing a circuit before you start working for the day or on your lunch break, and notice how much more energy you have and how much better you feel!
