20 Minute Fully Customizable HIIT
If your goal is to build a beautiful, lean and toned body, we recommend using cardio strategically and sparingly. One of the best forms of cardio to boost your metabolism, prevent breakdown of muscle tissue for energy, and have you burning calories long after your workout is over, is high intensity interval training (HIIT). While we recommend exercises to ensure a full body burn for maximum results, this 20 minute HIIT session is fully customizable, so feel free to plug and play with different exercises as you choose. This workout can be done 2-3 times/week after strength and resistance training, or as a standalone workout if you are short on time and need something quick yet effective. We recommend pairing this with our Sculpt workout programs.
