Three AMAZING 7-Minute HIIT Workouts You Can Do From Home
We already know that less is more when it comes to high intensity interval training (HIIT). HIIT workouts feature short, intense bouts of exercise followed by shorter periods of rest and are done for a brief period of time. Most HIIT workouts range from 12-30 minutes, though research shows that as little as 7 minutes of HIIT is all you need to start seeing and feeling incredible results from your workout.
But here's the catch: with HIIT you have to be working to at least 80% of your max effort every single second you're training. You should be living for the short breaks you are afforded to rest. If you're not putting in this max effort, then you're not going to reap the rewards of HIIT, which include:
- Build Muscle
- Increase Metabolism
- Train Anywhere
- Fast, Efficient Training
- Improve Heart Health
- Little to No Equipment Needed!
So it's easy to see why we love HIIT so much, and why so many of our workouts are HIIT.
Three 7-Minute HIIT Workouts You Can Do From Home
Today, we want to share with you five gorgeously short, sweet, and sweaty HIIT workouts that you can do right from your home in just 7 minutes.
You don't need much equipment (just a set of dumbbells will do) and, if you give each second your all, we guarantee you'll get a kick-ass workout that will rival any hour-long gym session.
We'll prove it. Grab your gear and check out these moves.
Do you need dumbbells?
Listen, you can get a good HIIT workout with no gear, but having a solid set of quality dumbbells is a must-have for any home gym. They are the basic, barebones equipment you need to really benefit from resistance training and all it's rewards like jacking your metabolism, building better bone health and increasing your lean muscle mass.
So if you don't have them, just get them, okay? They're one of the most affordable pieces of gym gear and will last you a lifetime. And, for a limited time, they are on sale now in our store!
Another note on gear: You will notice that in some of these moves, Lisa is wearing a weighted vest and ankle weights. Both are great ways to increase your caloric burn during your workout, and your metabolic rate after!
