Multiple studies of High Intensity Interval Training (the popular HIIT you see a lot) have shown to be the absolute best method for increasing one’s VO2Max (Maximal Oxygen Consumption). An important aspect that not only translates to your cardio training, but your weight training as well (also burns a ton of calories, always a plus). Simple definition is extreme high intensity bouts of exercises for a short amount of time, followed with rest, then repeated 4-10 times. So here we go for the PT’s today.
Warm Up – Flutter Kicks 1 Minute – Push Ups 20 – Body Weight Squats – 20
