Bodyweight Tri-set HIIT
17/1748 – Bodyweight Tri-set HIIT
This workout serves as Day 6 of our Strength and Cardio with Brian 10-Day Challenge but can be used as a standalone workout anytime!
Hey Team!
This is Day 6, and you’re officially over the halfway point of our 10-day challenge. Today’s HIIT workout will involve a blend of strength, cardio, and core exercises, pushing you to challenge yourself using just your body weight. This workout is perfect for anyone who loves high-intensity intervals and wants to test their cardio and strength.
We’ll start with a mobility warm-up, easing into the workout with low-impact movements. We will move a lot during this workout, so this is a great way to start today. Once warmed up, we’ll dive straight into our Tri Set HIIT with three exercises, each focusing on strength, cardio, and core. The structure is simple: 30 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest, with a more extended break between each set to catch your breath.
This workout is designed to keep you moving and sweating from start to finish. It’s all about intensity and cardio, pushing your limits while keeping your heart rate up. For example, the first set will target your legs with drop lunges, which you can modify to reverse lunges if needed. The second set emphasizes upper body strength with push-ups, where you can choose any variation that suits your fitness level. For those core-focused exercises, we will use jackknifes and bicycle crunches to hit those abs.
The beauty of this workout lies in its simplicity and effectiveness. Quick transitions between exercises ensure that your heart rate stays elevated, helping you burn calories and improve your endurance with just enough rest to keep you fresh and ready for the next exercise. So feel free to push yourself with any variation you use.
If any exercise feels too challenging, remember that modifications are always an option. It’s important to listen to your body and adjust the movements to match your fitness level. I will offer modifications during the workout. The goal here is to keep moving, challenge yourself and, most importantly, keep going.
You’ve made it to Day 6, a huge achievement, so let’s keep that momentum. Remember why you started this challenge as we push through this workout. Think about how far you’ve come and how much stronger you are today than you were on Day 1. When the exercises get tough, they will just remember that every rep brings you closer to Day 10!
Let’s get to work, team!
