1 Hour // No Repeat HIIT Workout

Heather Robertson has created a long and intense cardio + strength workout with 1 Hour // No Repeat HIIT Workout. She said this workout was one that a lot of her viewers asked for. An hour of different exercises–no exercise is repeated. The actual workout is 1 hour. But the entire workout is longer than an hour because Heather includes a warm up and a stretch. She also has the workout broken down in 3 parts. So after doing 1/3 of the workout, you get a 45 second break. Then 2/3 of the way through the workout you get another 45 second break. That makes the total workout time 69 minutes. This was a long and tough workout. But it is worth it. This is an excellent total body strength workout. There is no discernible pattern to how the cardio intervals are inserted, but they are there to keep your heart rate elevated. But the majority of the exercises are very metabolic anyway. This is a fat/calorie burning workout. I burned 504 calories! I was in my cardio heart rate zone 72% of the workout. I only spent a total of 5 minutes in my peak heart rate zone. Most of the cardio is high impact but there are a few low impact cardio moves interspersed into this workout. If you are looking for something long and thorough–but varied so it never gets boring, this is the workout for you. I never felt worn out during this workout or as if I needed longer recovery time. So, for me at least, this workout was the perfect level of intensity. Because of the length, I did this workout on the weekend, but now that I am teleworking I can actually do workouts like this on workdays, so this workout will get more use while I am teleworking. If I ever have to go back into the office, it will have to be reserved for weekends.

1 Hour // No Repeat HIIT Workout is 68:58 minutes; 2:15 minute warm up and 4 minute stretch. Equipment: dumbbells and fitness mat. Heather is using a set of 5 and a set of 10 pound dumbbells. I used 5-25 pound dumbbells. The weights listed below are what I used. This workout is done interval style. There are 60 exercises! Each exercise is done for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds of recovery. There is a timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen, counting down your intervals and recoveries.
