HIIT Workout - Sled and Push-Ups (AMRAP)

HIIT

HIIT Workout - Treadmill Sprints (AMRAP)

Total Time - 18 min (including warm-up)

Workout Synopsis:

This is a High Intensity Workout that will spike your heart rate and challenge your muscle endurance and cardio. This is a great combination of a full body dynamic movement (the Sled) and a full body bracing resistance exercise (the Push-up).

High Intensity Interval Training - HIIT Training is a great way to challenge yourself mentally and physically. The main benefits are accelerated Fat Loss and Cardiovascular Health improvements.

Hard Intensity Interval - This is high intensity but not an all out sprint. You will need to maintain a high pace but not full effort to maximize reps.

AMRAP - AMRAP stands for As Many Reps As Possible, the goal will be to do a maximum number of reps you can complete in the allotted time.

REST - The REST intervals are between each AMRAP. You should be able to recover enough for the next round.
