Is the Beginner HIIT Blast workout too easy? or are you jumping straight in at the deep end? This 30 minute workout really steps it up for those who want to get a real sweat going in a short space of time, but be warned there is a large difference in intensity between the beginner and the expert (it’s called expert for a reason). HIIT is very flexible so if you find it too hard you can adjust it by:
- Making the rest periods longer (1-2 minutes should do it)
- Removing or substituting the exercises you are unable to do
Try not to reduce your intensity during the exercise because that is what enables you to keep your heart rate up. Ultimately the more effort you get in, the more benefits you take away!
