Home-Friendly HIIT Circuits

Exercise	Time/ Rep Count
100 meter sprints	--
Dumbbell bent over rows	12
Pike push ups	12
Jack knives	15

The idea behind HIIT is to dramatically increase the heart rate for a period of time, then lower it. This resting period can be a full rest if you’d prefer, but doing some lighter exercises such as marching on the spot will still bring your heart rate down if the high-intensity interval (like burpees or sprints) is hard enough.

Now that you have an idea of some example HIIT exercises, try mixing it up! Whether it’s using these two circuits and swapping out certain exercises, or choosing new routines to go with the high intensity options, these home-friendly workouts will help get you off the couch and get ready for the beach.
