No Equipment Full Body HIIT Workout // Day 51 HR12WEEK 2.0

No Equipment Full Body HIIT Workout is Day 51 in Heather Robertson‘s 12 Week program. This is a body weight cardio + strength workout. No equipment and Heather gives you a full body workout. I enjoyed it more because it was different from her other 12 Week Program workouts that I have been doing for the past few months. It was a nice change of pace. Since it is only 42 minutes, I used Heather’s new 10 Min Standing Abs as a finisher. Between the two, I got a great full body workout this morning.

The exercises are all done interval style: 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of recovery. There is a timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen counting down your intervals and recoveries. During the recoveries Heather previews your next exercise. For some (not all) of the exercises that include impact, Heather shows a low impact variation.

No Equipment Full Body HIIT Workout is 42:21 minutes; 4 minute warm up and 5 minute stretch. Equipment: fitness mat.
