Total Body Bodyweight Cardio HIIT
17/1751 – Total Body Bodyweight Cardio HIIT
This workout serves as Day 9 of our Strength and Cardio with Brian 10-Day Challenge but can be used as a standalone workout anytime!
Hey Team!
Welcome to Day 9 of our 10-day challenge — just one more day! Today’s workout is a high-energy bodyweight HIIT that will challenge your entire body. We’re working in a tri-set format, so you’ll move quickly from one exercise to the next with just enough rest to catch your breath before jumping back in. This structure is perfect for keeping the intensity high and maximizing your workout.
Equipement needed:
- No equipment needed
- Mat (Optional)
This workout focuses on building strength, cardio, and coordination, all while pushing your cardiovascular system. The mix of jumping and bounding exercises will elevate your heart rate, helping you burn calories and improve your agility. If you’re looking for a way to get a full-body workout without any equipment, you’re in the right place.
We’ll kick things off with a dynamic warm-up to get things moving before moving on to our first set. The first set will engage your legs and core with Jumping Lunges, Push-Ups, and three-way Crunches. This combination of exercises is designed to target your lower body and core, giving you a solid foundation for the rest of the workout.
In the second set, we’ll mix things up with Pulsing Prisoner Squats, which will fire up your quads and glutes. We’ll also do Plank Shoulder Taps to keep your core and upper body engaged and finish with Side-to-hops to challenge your cardio and balance. This set is about maintaining control and keeping your movements strong and steady.
The third set is where we really turn up the intensity. Jump Squats will test your explosive power, while modified close-grip push-ups will challenge your upper body endurance. We’ll finish with Flutter Kicks to give your core a final burn. These exercises not only build strength but also improve your stability and coordination.
Throughout the workout, listen to your body. If the jumping exercises feel too intense, I’ll offer low-impact options like alternating lunges instead of Jumping Lunges or Squats instead of Jump Squats. Maintaining good form is important, even if that means slowing down or modifying an exercise. The goal is to challenge yourself while staying safe and getting the most out of each movement.
You’ve made it this far in the challenge, and now it’s time to push through these last two days with everything you’ve got. Think about how far you’ve come and let that motivate you to finish strong.
Remember, it’s not about being perfect — it’s about giving your best effort and making progress.
As we near the end of this challenge, take a moment to appreciate the work you’ve put in and the strength you’ve built along the way. You’ve got this, Team!
Let’s crush Day 9 together and finish this challenge strong!
