Total Body HIIT Workout with No Equipment is cardio + strength workout from Heather Robertson. The strength is all body weight strength work and the cardio is not low impact–just FYI, there is lots of jumping. I got a great workout. It is not total body in my opinion but that’s okay. I use workouts like these more as cardio conditioning workouts. You work the chest, core, lower body and shoulders. Plus your triceps get some work with the push ups. I enjoyed this workout and I definitely got a great workout, but this wasn’t one of my favorite of Heather’s workouts. I may have intuited that before because this has been on my To-Do list for a while (she uploaded October 2020). I’m not sorry I did it, I just probably won’t return to it since she has so many other no equipment workouts I enjoy more.
This workout has 3 circuits of 5 exercises. Each circuit is done twice before moving on to the next circuit. The exercises are all done interval style: 40 seconds of work followed by 20 seconds of rest. There is a timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen. During the recovery Heather previews the next exercise.
