Rev Up Your Day with a Morning HIIT Workout!

Are you tired of feeling sluggish and unproductive in the mornings? Is your morning cup of coffee just not cutting it anymore? Look no further! A morning HIIT workout is exactly what you need to kickstart your day and boost your energy levels.

What is HIIT?

HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. If that sounds intimidating, don’t worry – this isn’t an infomercial. Basically, it involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by periods of rest or low-intensity activity.

The key here is intensity – if you’re not feeling the burn, you’re not doing it right. But before you get scared off by the thought of all-out sprints and burpees, know that there are plenty of beginner-friendly exercises and modifications to make any routine more doable.

The Benefits

Why bother with all this effort first thing in the morning?

  • Increased metabolism throughout the day
  • Improved cardiovascular health
  • Reduced stress levels
  • Better focus and mental clarity

Plus, getting a workout done early means one less excuse later on. And let’s be real: who doesn’t want bragging rights for crushing a tough exercise session while most people are still hitting snooze?

Getting Started

Fitting a whole workout routine into your busy schedule can seem daunting at first but fear not – practicing as little as 10 minutes each day can help enhance recommended daily fitness benefices. Here’s how to fire up those endorphins:

Find Space:

Clear some room in front of computer desk | bed | wherever else .

Get Geared Up:

You’ll be moving around quite extensively so throw on some comfy athletic clothes matched with supportive sneakers.

A morning workout in the park – this could be you!

Warm-up

A light warm up should be carried out at the beginning of each routine. Spend five minutes walking, jogging or cycling on the spot to gradually increase your heart rate.

Then focus on stretching all major body groups such as arms, legs and back for better circulation throughout exercise routines.

Exercises

Remember, HIIT isn’t about how much time you put in – it’s about what you do with that time. Here are a few examples:

  • Jumping Jacks /{also known as star jumps} : A quick and simple way to get the blood pumping is by performing multiple sets of jumping jacks.
  • High Knees /{or also referred to “knee lifts”}: Jogging in place but lift your knees higher than hips’ level whilst simultaneously alternating between left and right leg.
  • Burpees: The ultimate full-body move involves transitioning into plank position followed by performing a pushup and once completing pushing yourself back up onto feet whilst simultaneously hopping into air {That’s one!} (You’ll curse me this one).

Wonderful! Now completed great exercises let’s bring ‘em together.

Exercise Time Sets
Jumping Jacks 30 Seconds 3
High Knees 20 Repetitions L/R Total 3 / Side
Burpees Oh I don’t know just keep going

Note: Regulations vary depending upon fitness goals so feel free & adjust accordingly.

Afterwards carry out at least five more minutes of moderate intensity activity before coming to rest as anything less can result burning-out too quickly!

Conclusion

Getting up early may not sound like a whole lot of fun, but it can do wonders for your energy levels and make the rest of the day that much more productive. The goal here is to improve health not physically exhausting yourself. Try out a few different workouts, have fun with it (if possible), and reap the benefits of starting your morning off strong.

Incorporating HIIT into your routine may not immediately create a transformation in mind or body composition, but stay consistent over time & you’ll discover greater success towards reaching those fitness goals!
