No Repeats HIIT Workout is Day 5 in Heather Robertson‘s week long Glow Up 2.0 Challenge. This is a cardio + strength workout. It is all body weight, no equipment needed. There are some body weight strength exercises, some core work and some cardio. Some of the cardio moves are plyometric power moves, so they also give you some strength work. I burned 252 calories. I really enjoyed the stretch at the end. Mostly because it includes happy baby pose. There are few stretches that feel as good as that one and more sore legs appreciated it.
This is Heather’s second Glow Up Challenge. (Here are my reviews of all of the workouts in her first Glow Up Challenge) Here is a little trailer about the second challenge. And here is her description of it: The Glow Up 2.0 is a free 7 Day workout series to help get you moving and will have you feeling your very best. The program also includes a free glow up guide that discusses nutrition and mindfulness and how incorporating these aspects into your daily routine can help you transform from the inside out!
