Workout Routine: Interval Training @ Home

*Interval Training: Type of physical training that involves bursts of high intensity work in alternation with periods of rest or low activity (intervals).

Instead of using counts, I usually use “time” for interval training. Each “station” is 2 minutes long.

Station 1: Toe Touches (lay down on back, legs straight up in the air, alternate arms and reach towards opposite foot – utilizing the twisting motion in your torso & relaxing the neck as to not strain it)

Station 2: Mountain climbers

Station 3: Bicep Curls – Concentrated. 1st minute focused on bicep curls from the middle to the top, and 2nd minute focused on bicep curls from the middle to the bottom.

Station 4: Jump Rope

Station 5: Pushups

Station 6: Jumping jacks

Station 7: Planks with a twist and hold

Station 8: Jog in place

Station 9: Tricep Extensions overhead

Station 10: Walking lunges

Once you have completed the 10 stations, repeat once more.

Best song of the workout: Break Stuff – Limp Bizkit

Hardest part of the workout: Not giving up after the 2 minute high intensity cardio stations. 

Tip for you: Start off with allowing yourself to take a breather after the cardio stations. If you have to stop, that’s fine, but don’t just stand there – move something. That’s the key – never stop moving. Even if it’s kicking your legs out in front of you. Also, get a friend to join in with you – it makes it more fun and create the stations to the exercises you both want to complete. No gym necessary.
