This HIIT routine is all cardio moves, so if you’re looking for a quick heart rate blast, this is it! These are pretty high impact moves, including a modified burpee that substitutes a jump for two front kicks. It’s heavy on the lower body and does have squats and lunges, so watch your knees!
Most of the moves are kind of hardcore with the potential for injury, so I highly recommend you do a warmup before this workout. Either way you will need a cool-down, too, if you aren’t doing anything else afterwards, because you will feel it!
50 seconds is quite a long interval, so this can be a torturous workout. This isn’t a typical HIIT workout where you have to repeat the video four times, but I’ll bet if you do, you’ll get a ridiculously good–and hard–workout out of it!
Since it is an intense workout but it’s not hard to do, beginners can try this workout, but I recommend that they pace themselves, and avoid trying to keep up with Cassey’s pace. Do it at your own speed; I promise you will still get a fabulous 5-minute cardio blast!
