HIIT the New Year Hard : Day 20

  • Always warm up for a few minutes before doing these exercises.
  • Do each exercise for 45 seconds.
  • Rest 15 seconds before moving to the next exercise. (If you are a beginner you may rest longer)

  • Some of the exercises you may only be able to do for 20-30 seconds and need a longer rest time. That is perfectly fine! I promise if you continue to push yourself, your time will increase as you go.
