The Most Effective at Home HIIT Workout List

High-intensity interval training, or HIIT workout, is one of the best ways to make the most of your workout time. In this digital age, there are many excellent videos out there to guide your HIIT workout at home. Of course, there are also non-traditional ways to get a workout in. Let’s explore both.

Dice Workout

For this exercise, you just need a pair of dice and room to work out. You set a timer for the amount of time you have chosen (the workout suggests twenty minutes) and start moving. Roll the dice and complete whatever workout Lady Luck brings you!

Some websites offer plans for you to easily follow. Below is an example of this type of plan. It lists what you should do each day of the week for one month on a path to greater fitness.

Since many people struggle with how to create a HIIT workout at home plan of their own to follow, this is one method.

HIIT Workout to Burn Over 150 Calories in 20 Minutes

Pinterest has many interesting and engaging workouts from which you can choose. Below is one example of an at home HIIT workout that has you switching exercises often enough to keep your interest, yet holding each move long enough to get your heart pumping and work the targeted body area.

HIIT Challenge

Personally, I love to mix up my endurance cardio, such as running, using the elliptical or cycling, with a floor exercise. The photograph below, also from Pinterest, gives a new move a day, with the challenge of completing all four exercises on day five. Yup, you heard that correctly. Starting on a Monday, each day you do a new movement, then on day five, you complete all four of them back to back.

The next week? You start again. Adding a new slant to this would be to do all four exercises each day. The four exercises make a set. Do each for one minute, rest 15 seconds, move on to the next. Repeat three times through.

You could also print off this sheet and shuffle the sections into a pile. Pull out ten cards to create your circuit! 45 seconds on by 15 seconds of rest three times through makes a great workout HIIT workout at home!

Hey, mom or dad, are you hoping to engage your kid in some cardio with you?

This is a fun way to incorporate some cardio for the whole family!
