In the words of Meg Takacz, ‘We’re back!’ This time, it’s a full-body, five-move HIIT torcher to get every muscle group fired up and burning out. Trust us — this one isn’t for the faint of heart.

Although most workouts we publish at Tom’s Guide are for every fitness level, you might want to modify some exercises if you’re a beginner or use a light dumbbell instead. The five moves by running coach Takacz and her pal @amandabutlernyc are creative and fun, designed to be done in synchro with a pal or alone if you prefer to sweat solo.
