BodyRock 12 Minute HIIT Workout #14: ‘Leg Death’

Hi BodyRockers,

Heat warning. This workout burned 220 calories in just 12 minutes (and that’s not even counting the hours long after-burn that will elevate your burn for up to the next 36 hours). Simply put, this HIIT workout is extremely efficient at burning calories and excess body fat. 

Coach Sean leads you through BodyRock HIIT Workout #14 - full of all kinds of moves that target the legs & core. 

Today we have an absolute monster workout for you guys. It’s a bit extra special because there are some exercises in this workout that I’m willing to bet that you have never tried before - and one of our favourite things to do here at BodyRock is teach people brand spanking new moves that help you guys reach your fitness and strength goals that much faster. Today we have an abs and core move that is so FIRE that coach Sean had to do the whole thing in the beginner modification because it was so intense. 

Lot’s going on today, so lets get to it. 

The workout. We are calling  this one ‘leg death’ because its going to absolutely crush your lower body, while sculpting your abs and core like Leonardo Da Vinci. We keep hammering in to you guys to keep the muscle groups that you are working engaged. Keeping your mind-muscle focus will ensure that you are getting maximum returns each time to train with us through these 12 minute HIIT workouts. Stay present. Stay focused. 

The Exercises in todays 12 Minute HIIT workout: 

Note. Every exercise in this workout has a beginner modification. Sean often starts in beginner mode, and then ‘levels up’ to a more advanced variation of the exercise. Listen for his cues. Stop the video if you need to practice a move first, pause if you need a personal time out to catch your breath or get a sip of water. The first rule of BodyRock is that we make it work on an individual level first - this is your workout, make it work for you.

Today’s Positive Boost. 

Look at you. This is just workout #14 in this series and even if you are just finding us now, or you’ve only watched up until this point - I want you to give yourself some kudos. The truth is, as I’m sitting here writing this over looking English Bay and the mouth to the Pacific Ocean in beautiful downtown Vancouver Canada, I feel like I already know you, like we kindred spirits. You see, I’m sitting here editing the videos, building these workout posts, trying to bring something I’m deeply passionate to life - namely this company, community, movement - ‘BodyRock’ in my attempt to bring the best workouts in the world to everyone who is looking for a solution to their fitness and wellness that comes from the heart. If I’m also radically honest, I want to create a workout movement so powerful and efficient that it delivers a better than gym quality workout in just 12 minutes a day. 

I’m at the beginning of this quest as I hammer out these words at my favourite Starbucks (what I like to call ‘the office’). I’m telling you all of this to share my big audacious goal with you - and the truth is, I’m not even close to that goal yet. But here I am, at the beginning of something that I’ve started to take daily action towards, and I know, if I put my focus into being consistent (rather than just being motivated) I will inch my way towards the accomplishment of my goal. 

It’s the exact same with any goal that you might have - fitness, strength, weight loss - whatever your deeply held want is - it might not look like you are even close to the outcome that you want, but let me share what I know to be true just 14 videos into my quest. I’m closer than I was when I stared. I’m closer to my goal with workout #14 than I was at workout #13. I’m getting closer to my ultimate goal every time I show up and deliver you guys my best - and what we have in common in all of this is that you and I, can move forward towards our goals, day by day, in just 12 minutes at a time. 

I hope that you will join me. We are cooking up some big dreams here. This is a place where dreams are met with consistent action, where our efforts compound day by day. This is a place where we make dreams happen by taking responsibility for them. 

I hope that you enjoy today’s workout.
