Anyone who told you that you can’t get a decent workout using just your bodyweight was lying, I’m afraid. This five-move full-body HIIT workout will not only build functional strength but also fire up your metabolism to burn through fat. Set aside 30 minutes and go grab your gym water bottle—it’s 100% needed.
Aside from HIIT having the ability to increase your metabolic rate for hours after you’ve exercised— in simpler terms, it continues to burn more calories— it’s also a great alternative if you're not a fan of regular cardio. According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, HIIT can be just as effective, if not more, at boosting your VO2 max (aerobic capacity) as regular endurance training, so you can leave those running shoes at the door.
