HIIT Workout Friday!! Plus, basic HIIT info

Hey guys! It's Friday, time to bring it again with another HIIT workout! I love doing these on Friday for some reason...

Here is some quick info about HIIT and the benefits of doing it:

-HIIT stands for high intensity interval training. While doing HIIT your body is working at it's maximum level, and with short rest periods, you are actually burning more calories and fat in less amount of time!

-It's also quick and convenient. The max about of time to complete HIIT is 30 minutes, and some are under 30 minutes. I do mine for 20 minutes. That's a top quality workout in a short amount of time that you can do easily at home.

-You don't need any equipment. It focuses on keeping your heart rate up, and it also builds muscles using your own body weight...it's no fuss, quick, and convenient, but it's also no joke! You will be working your muscles and getting an intense cardio workout!

-HIIT should not be done back to back every day. Due to the level of intensity your body will still be burning calories and fat about 48 hours after each workout. Your muscles need time to recover, so it's better to do low intensity workouts in between HIIT days. None the less, Friday is my HIIT day, so I'm sharing it with you...Alright, let's do this!

*Disclaimer: If you are pregnant, just had a baby, or have any medical conditions at all, please be safe and consult with your doctor before trying HIIT or any exercise routine.

Remember, we are going to do as many rounds as possible within 20 minutes. Take small, 10 second rest periods between each exercise...Ok! have fun! (pictures are shown in order to each exercise)

2. Skater Hops- 30 sec
