POSTGRAD FITNESS: AT HOME HIIT CIRCUIT

I think everyone can agree that it's difficult to fit everything in. Work, school, friends, significant others, errands, cooking, aaaand the gym. This generation seems to just pack as much in as possible, which is good in many ways, but can also cause parts of your life to lose priority. One way I like to make more time in my schedule is working out in my apartment a few times a week instead of hitting spin or yoga. Just the travel time alone saves me nearly an hour.


Pro tip: For any jumping moves, try to land softly so it's easier on your joints. Plus, if you live in an apartment you don't want to piss off the neighbors!




30 Seconds of Mountain Climbers
15 Leg Lifts
15 Squat Jumps
50 Bicycle Crunches (25 each side)
Repeat 2x

-Rest-

Plank with Row, 10 each side
30 Walking Lunges (15 each side)
Side Plank, 30 seconds each side
30 Reverse Lunges (15 each side)
Repeat 2x

-Rest-

1 Minute High Knees
15 Rowing Crunches
10 Burpees
20 Bridge Raises
Repeat 2x

-Rest-

1 Minute Plank

Done!

For an easier workout, run through each circuit once before you take a rest. The rest periods should also be a quick sip of water and catching your breath, don't let your heart rate drop too far between circuits.
