Burpees are a great bodyweight exercise that double up as cardio andstrength training. But, we wouldn’t judge if they were enough to put you off a HIIT workout, as they’re not exactly the most beginner-friendly exercise out there. This HIIT workout doesn’t include any though. In fact, there’s no floor exercises, they’re all completed standing. Yep, that’s right, so there’s not even a mountain climber in sight either!
Standing workouts actually have multiple benefits. For starters, you have a great range of motion when standing, so you use more muscles to help keep you balanced, which also challenges your core more. They also take up less room, so they’re ideal for even the smallest of spaces. Plus, if you’re someone who suffers from neck or shoulder pain, the last thing you’ll want to be doing is lying on the floor.
Make sure you have yourgym water bottleto hand too and take small sips of water during your 10 second breaks to avoid dehydration. If you own afitness trackerthen it’s also worth wearing this throughout this workout, so you can track your calories burned, VO2 max and heart rate. We’ve also got this10 minute HIIT workout, which also has no burpees or mountain climbers, just in case you need something a bit shorter. But, if you’re ready to step it up a notch, try thissix-move bodyweight HIIT workout.
