Alina’s 20-minute HIIT for Total Body Toning

Those with a hectic schedule may find it difficult to fit in exercise. Alina therefore swears by her 20-minute HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) exercise, meant to target the whole body in a brief period of time.

Alina says, “I needed something quick but effective, and HIIT gives me perfect balance.”

HIIT: Why do you do it?


Efficiency is well-known about HIIT. It alternately tones muscles and increases metabolism for hours following the workout by including brief recuperation periods between vigorous bursts of exercise.

Alina notes, “I love that HIIT helps me burn calories even though I’m done working out.”

Moreover very flexible are HIIT sessions. You might do them outside, at the gym, or even at home. You also just need your bodyweight and some space—not sophisticated tools.

Alina follows a couple times a week a set regimen that is broken out here:

Alina’s 20-Minute HIIT Routine


Here’s a breakdown of Alina’s go-to routine, which she follows a few times a week:

  • Warm-up: Start with 2 minutes of jumping jacks or jogging in place to get your heart rate up.
  • Burpees (1 minute): This full-body move tones your legs, arms, and core.
  • Squat Jumps (1 minute): Work on your legs and glutes while adding a cardio boost.
  • Push-ups (1 minute): Target your arms, shoulders, and chest.
  • Mountain Climbers (1 minute): Engage your core and build endurance.
  • Rest (30 seconds): Take a short break to catch your breath.
  • Repeat: Go through the sequence 3 more times, taking 30 seconds of rest in between each round.

  • Alina reports, “This workout leaves me sweaty but energised.” “It’s fast, strong, and ideal for whole body toning.”
