Searching for time to integrate a workout into your busy schedule? Understanding the difficulty, Mae, a working mother and personal trainer, has created a 15-minute HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) exercise for even the busiest of schedules.
“You need less than one hour to get a decent exercise in. All you need is fifteen minutes of deliberate effort, she advises.
Designed to burn calories and swiftly develop muscle, Mae’s workout blends strength and cardio activities. “Your heart rate should remain constant and you should work several muscle groups at once,” she says. Her fast but powerful regimen follows here:
1. One minute of jumping jack
Classic jumping jacks will get your blood moving. Mae advises performing these quickly to warm your whole body.
2. Squat Jumps (2 minutes)
“Squat jumps are a killer for your legs and glutes,” Mae explains. Start in a squat then shoot upward into a jump. Two minutes of repeat.
3. One minute, push-ups
Then target your chest, shoulders, and core by hitting the ground for push-ups. She says, “push-ups are an amazing upper-body exercise even if you have to change them.”
4. Two minutes for Mountain Climbers
Mae suggests mountain climbers for a cardiac increase and core exercise. She notes, “It’s like running in place, but on the floor, and it works wonders for your abs.”
5. Burpees (3 minutes)
The best complete-body movement is a burpee. Mae acknowledges, “Everyone hates burpees, but they are so effective!” At once, they train your arms, legs, and core.
